Europe needs approximately 10 standard LNG tankers to import 1 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gaseous natural gas. In total, the EU imports ~300 bcm/year, almost half of that as LNG. So, roughly 1,500 tankers per year. That's 4 per day, and more in winter, especially if our storages aren't filled.

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy Shame on lazy European governments bribed by carbon fuel industry for not building the new energy. Build it VERY FAST. NOW. BUILD IT NOW. Betrayal, failure, self-service blindness. The wildfires will be in more countries and bigger next year. And after next year it will grow worse faster than yearly. Wildfires. Almost took Bordeaux this year. #eu #climate #twentyThousandDead #wildfire #oil #lng #billionaire #subversion

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy Saw one of these LNG tankers today, passing by the German North Sea coast island that I'm spending my vacation on. Like almost all the big vessels, it spewed a long trail of yellowish smoke (thought sulphur is mostly banned from ship fuel nowadays? It looked sulphur). This corner of the North Sea is so packed with vessels waiting for entry to the German harbors that the complete horizon has a yellow-grey smoke layer before the actual 'sky' begins above that layer.
