The plans for a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the German island of R眉gen in the Baltic Sea face more opposition by local interest groups who fear that the large industrial infrastructure project could damage protected areas. In an聽聽to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania鈥檚 state premier Manuela Schwesig (the state where R眉gen is located), the mayor and tourism director of the sea resort town Binz, Karsten Schneider and Kai Gardeja, argue that a pipeline needed to connect the prospective LNG port with the mainland is unlikely to be eligible for a construction license. The town鈥檚 representatives said an earlier assessment by a state authority in 2018 for the now defunct Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which was also planned to make landfall in the region, had found that 鈥渃onsiderable conflicts regarding technical, environmental and land use planning aspects鈥� made the project 鈥渋nsufferable鈥� for residents of the popular holiday destination. 鈥淚f licenses are issued regardless, this would equal a democratic bankruptcy of the state government,鈥� the letter鈥檚 authors said. They called on state premier Schwesig, who has publicly opposed plans by the federal government to authorise the LNG terminal on the island, to ensure that all legal and technical assessments of the project are considered in order to prevent construction from going forward 鈥渁nd the state government鈥檚 credibility is damaged.鈥�

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania鈥檚 government in May drafted a catalogue of measures worth one billion euros to help ensure that the island of R眉gen accepts the terminal鈥檚 construction. State premier Schwesig from chancellor Olaf Scholz鈥� Social Democrats (SPD) in June failed to garner support for finding alternatives to the terminal off the Baltic Sea island, arguing the project would be 鈥渁 huge challenge鈥� in the touristic region. As part of its bid to become lastingly independent from Russian gas supplies, Germany鈥檚 federal government has issued plans to host two so-called Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRU), in the port of Mukran on R眉gen to process shipped LNG deliveries.
