EU LNG Terminals in Figures: Import Capacities Still Underutilized

Just like in past years, Food & Water Action Europe has taken a closer look at the utilization rates of terminals to import liquefied fossil gas (LNG) in the EU and the UK. With 2019 being a veritable boom year for LNG imports, the average utilization rate is up, but still nowhere near full capacity.

This would be a terrible decision, since there is clearly no justification to waste even more money on unneeded fossil fuel infrastructure.

While Shell is touting green hydrogen, this type of ad is considered greenwashing similar to Exxon promoting algae-based fuels.
