Environmental Action Germany (DUH) has submitted an objection to Uniper’s floating LNG terminal ship (FSRU) in Wilhelmshaven.

It states, “This contradicts the climate goals of the Federal Climate Protection Act and counteracts the announcement by Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck that he wants to operate the FSRU for a maximum of ten years.
