TES accelerates building its alternative energy terminal

Tree Energy Solutions (TES) said on Wednesday it is accelerating its plans to develop the German port of Wilhelmshaven into a hub for importing green gas to fast track alternative energy security for Germany and Europe.

The Wilhelmshaven green gas terminal is sustainable, carbon-neutral, and transitional, meeting the German government's short term and long-term energy requirement, said the company in a statement.

“TES also believes that managing the current crisis should be done in such a way that long-term climate targets will and do not need to be compromised. The TES-Wilhelmshaven project is a unique project that can exactly do this,” said Paul van Poecke, Founder and Managing Director at TES.

The terminal will be accommodating LNG as an intermediate source of energy supply given the current energy-crisis.

TES said they are planning further work to ensure an operational start of phase 1 by winter 2025. For a full scale, they want to have 6 independent tanks combined with 6 ship-berths using a novel approach with minimal environmental and visual impact.

“We want to boldly drive forward energy transition with the aim of making Germany's energy supply CO2-neutral. This will be achieved by developing Wilhelmshaven as a green energy hub. The latest developments do not interfere with the energy targets to be met by 2045,” added Poecke.
