Oil and Gas Emergency Policy: Germany 2012 update
Oil and Gas Emergency Policy: Germany 2012 update Germany has very little domestic oil and natural gas production and relies heavily on imports. It has well diversified and flexible oil and natural gas supply infrastructure, which consists of crude, product and gas pipelines and crude and oil product import terminals. The country has no liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure, although some German companies have booked capacities in overseas LNG terminals. Oil continues to be the main source of energy in Germany. It now represents approximately 32% of Germany’s total primary energy supply (TPES). Natural gas consumption in Germany has…
