Gasunie Conducts Flaring Operations for ETL 179.200 Connection in Stade-Bützfleth
Gasunie is conducting flaring operations in Stade-Bützfleth to prepare for the connection of the Energietransportleitung (ETL) 179.200 to the existing gas network. The operations involve using a mobile compressor to remove gas and subsequently burning off remaining gas to reduce methane emissions. This process, occurring on February 26, is monitored and complies with EU environmental regulations. The ETL will connect the under-construction LNG terminal in Stade with the gas transport network, enhancing Germany's energy supply.

Gasunie is performing flaring operations in Stade-Bützfleth on February 26 to prepare for the connection of the Energietransportleitung (ETL) 179.200 to the existing gas network. Initial steps involve a mobile compressor to extract gas, followed by controlled burning of residual gas with a mobile flare system.
This operation aims to reduce methane emissions compared to cold venting. The flaring will produce noticeable light and noise, and local residents are informed. The ETL will connect the LNG terminal under construction in Stade to the gas transport network, contributing to Germany's energy supply security.
