Phase one of the construction of a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in the port city of Paldiski is to be completed today, Wednesday, ETV news show 'Aktuaalne kaamera' (AK) reported Tuesday.
The LNG floating terminal jointly leased by Estonia and Finland left Argentina for Europe last week and will be docked either in Paldiski or Finland, depending on where work is completed first. According to Martti Talgre, the managing director at Infortar AS, there should be no doubt at this point that the ship will arrive in Paldiski, as Estonia will have reception capacity sooner.
Due to Russia's war in Ukraine, the gas shortage in the region, and the availability of shale oil in Estonia, it is possible to replace nearly a terawatt-hour (TWh) of gas with shale oil in the district heating sector this winter. This will reduce Estonia's district heating gas consumption by about one-third.
