Germany's federal public prosecutor's office has raised “suspects of unconstitutional sabotage” after holes were found in new gas supply pipes installed to overcome dependence on imported hydrocarbons from Russia. ” is being investigated.
Germany believes numerous 1 centimeter (approximately 1/32 inch) holes were “drilled” into a new gas supply pipeline that supplies energy to the country's national power grid, an act of sabotage. This is an act that can be considered. It was discovered in November but is now open to the public. Although the exact cause of the damage or motivation behind the attempt to disrupt Germany's energy imports is unknown, Schleswig-Holstein Newspaper Association report Dutch-German energy company Gasnier has now acknowledged that the damage occurred and said it believes it was caused by “third party intervention.”

The 35-mile-long pipe is intended to transport gas shipped to Germany by LNG carriers. The gas is cooled to a liquid state for safe transport at sea, and once it reaches the shores of the customer country, it is regasified and piped ashore. In this case, a floating LNG terminal will receive his LNG at Brunsbüttel on the Elbe River, regasify it and send it onshore. And this pipe, which carries gas to the national grid, is said to have been drilled several times.
The investigation was handed over to the federal prosecutor's office, underscoring how seriously cases of potential “unconstitutional obstruction” are being treated. The terminal was handed over to Deutsche Energy Terminals GmbH (DET) earlier this year.
This sabotage may be related to the Ukraine-Russia war that necessitated the construction of new LNG terminals in the first place. times I also take notes They have also been the subject of “violent” protests by green activists.
Germany is rushing to diversify its energy sources, despite former U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated warnings that it is heavily dependent on energy imports from Russia to support the nation's economy, leaving it vulnerable. It was despite that. Many countries in Europe import her LNG, but at the time of the outbreak of the Ukraine war, Germany did not have a single her LNG import terminal of its own. The Brunsbüttel regasification plant is one of several plants ordered to be built at short notice to overcome it.
