Trains and phases
Each row is one unit as tracked by GEM. Ordered by start year, then proposal year.
| Unit | Status | Capacity (Mtpa) | Capacity (bcm/y) | Start | Proposed | FID | Owner (as reported) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LNG import terminal | Retired | 3.82 | 5.2 | 2023 | 2022 | Not reported | Deutsche ReGas [100%] |
| Hydrogen import terminal | Proposed | Not reported | Not reported | — | 2024 | Not reported | Deutsche ReGas [100%] |
Capacity by status
Owners and operators
Stakes as reported by GEM per unit, merged across units. Percentages are omitted where GEM does not give them.
Reported cost
Global Energy Monitor's estimated cost for each unit that reports one, converted to US dollars. Estimates at the date GEM last updated the unit, not adjusted for inflation.
| Unit | Status | Capacity | Estimated cost | Per tonne a year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LNG import terminal | Retired | 3.82 Mtpa | $1.09 billion1,000,000,000 EUR as reported | $285 |
Financing as GEM records it: In May 2025, it was announced that Deutsche ReGas would receive 112 million euros in grants from the European Union for the hydrogen hub in Lubmin.
A unit with no cost reported is not shown, and the figures are never added across statuses. How the estimates compare is on project costs.
Power, vessels and projects tied to this terminal
Floating vessels named by GEM
The terminal and carrier workbooks share no identifier, so a name is linked to a carrier page only where it matches exactly one tracked vessel by name. A name with no link is not in the carrier tracker under that name.
Interim or replacement facility
GEM flags a unit here as “interim facility”, a project to treat with care when projecting future capacity.

Supplied via
Chokepoints that cargoes arriving at this terminal typically cross, based on where its region is supplied from.
Atlantic-basin supply from the United States crosses no chokepoint, which is why the European exposure figure is lower than it looks.
Routing is an editorial model of typical laden voyages, held in a hand-maintained lane table. It is not vessel tracking, and it does not account for diversions, canal draught limits, ice class or seasonal closures.

Common questions
Generated from the same tracker fields as the tables above, so the two cannot disagree. Each answer stands on its own.
- Where is Lubmin FSRU?
- Lubmin FSRU is an LNG import terminal in Germany. It is made up of 2 tracked trains and phases.
- Is Lubmin FSRU operating?
- Lubmin FSRU is proposed, with a first tracked start year of 2023. Nothing here should be read as a forecast that it will be built.
- How much LNG can Lubmin FSRU handle?
- Global Energy Monitor reports no capacity for Lubmin FSRU, so none is shown. That is an absent figure, not a zero.
- Who owns Lubmin FSRU?
- Lubmin FSRU is owned by Deutsche ReGas, and operated by Deutsche ReGas. Shares are as recorded in the current tracker release.
- Which maritime chokepoints do cargoes from Lubmin FSRU pass?
- Cargoes from Lubmin FSRU would normally pass Strait of Gibraltar, Suez Canal, Bab el-Mandeb and Danish Straits. This is an editorial model of typical laden voyages by destination market, not vessel tracking, and any individual cargo may go another way.
- What pipelines connect to Lubmin FSRU?
- 5 tracked gas pipelines pass within 25 km of Lubmin FSRU. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection; each match is listed with its distance.
