"Beixi-1" was completed on 20 1 1. "Beixi -2" and "Beixi-1" natural gas pipelines together can meet the natural gas demand of about 1/4 EU countries.
On June 26th, 2022, "Beixi -2" Natural Gas Pipeline Project Company announced that it had formally established a subsidiary in Schwelien, Germany, and the company name was "Gas Supply for Europe". The company will own and operate the German part of the "Beixi -2" project, including a 54-kilometer-long pipeline section in German territorial waters and a pipeline terminal in mecklenburg-Prebomri Lubuming.
Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline:
In Europe, Germany is the staunchest and most important supporter of the "Beixi -2" project.
Because "Beixi -2" directly connects Russia and Germany via the Baltic Sea, Germany will not only meet its own natural gas demand, but also become an important hub for Russian natural gas to other European countries. The "Beixi -2" project can transport 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Germany every year. Compared with the export volume of 53 billion cubic meters, Russia's natural gas exports to Germany will at least double.
Situation in recent years:
On February 22, 2022, German Chancellor Angela Scholz announced that the German government would temporarily stop the approval process of the Beixi -2 natural gas pipeline in the context of the escalation of Russian-Ukrainian relations. ?
In July 2022, Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline Company recently announced that from July 1 1 day to July 2 1 day, the two branches of Beixi-1 natural gas pipeline operated by the company will be temporarily closed for routine maintenance.
