Gas isn't going anywhere anytime soon

A bloomberg article from September 9 states that Germany has a deficit of 40 million tonnes. Two million is not small but also not huge.

Isn't it a logistical nightmare to transport all that LNG from Qatar via sea route to Germany?

Yes I know, but what I meant the nightmare is its more of how much they would need to import to sustain the demand and if they have enough docking stations to receive the gas

The energy cost of liquefying natural gas is enormeous but once it is in liquid state and on a tanker the transportation cost is negligible. Of course it's still much, much more expensive than getting gas through a pipeline.

Until this year Germany had exactly zero LNG harbors. Our first one was rushed through bureaucracy because the need is that pressing and it will get online in a few weeks. There are more planned in the near future. From 2026 Qatari gas will fill about 3% of German demand. Our government is finally diversifying now after the Russian shock.
