ENKA’s wholly owned subsidiary Entrade GmbH, in a consortium formed together with Técnicas Reunidas and FCC Industrial e Infraestructuras Energéticas and FCC Industrial Deutschland GmbH signed an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract with the Hanseatic Energy Hub company for the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Regasification Terminal to be built at the Stade Industrial Park situated on the banks of Elbe River, Lower Saxony, Germany.

The contract encompasses the design and construction of a new storage and regasification terminal for liquefied gases, featuring unloading facilities on a newly built modern energy port at Stade. The land, on which the facility will be built, is owned by the large chemical company, Dow Chemical, which is participating in the project as one of the development partners. The terminal will utilize industrial waste heat from the existing Dow facility and therefore will be able to regasify the gases without additional CO2 emissions.

The terminal holds significant importance in Germany’s current energy policy, as one of its main objectives is to diversify its natural gas supply with liquefied natural gas (LNG) and green gases while preparing for the market ramp-up of hydrogen. The terminal, which will have a nominal annual capacity of 13.3 billion m3, involves a total investment of 1 billion Euros and the share of the construction contract is approximately 25%.

Entrade GmbH, a subsidiary of ENKA will perform the electromechanical assembly works of the project including piping prefabrication. Scope of works to be carried out under Entrade’s responsibility will be summarized as mechanical and electrical equipment erection works, steel structure erection works, electrical and instrumentation works, piping fabrication and erection works, painting and fireproofing, insulation, scaffolding, pre-commissioning and testing works. Optionally, Entrade will also provide supervision and manpower support during the commissioning phase. Pipe spool prefabrication of the Plant will be carried out at ENKA subsidiary Cimtas Pipe’s facilities, and the spools will be delivered to Site for its installation.
