At max capacity Revithoussa handles 11 shipments of LNG per month, corresponding to 4.3 TWh (terawatthours) if converting the LNG. For comparison of scale: The North Stream-1 Gas Pipeline to Germany alone had a capacity of 55 Billion cubic meters of Gas per anno, equivalent to 537 TWh or 1340 shipments (!) (most LNG ships are small or medium size, not monumental supertankers). This terminal will not be able to handle 132 shipments per Anno consistently (repairs etc.). At 5 times the price for LNG of the former pipeline-gas, what will happen is that all gas-dependent industries will have to disappear from the EU, as they are no longer competitive on international markets - and reestablish in the USA, China, Asia and Southamerica.

Europe needs ways of smoothing out energy from renewables and a regional power transmission plan. Move industry closer to the sources.

[@gplusgplus2286]

Watched the full video and surprise surprise @CNBC there's no mention of LNG being incredibly expensive compared to pipeline gas. It has to be ultra cleaned and refined first, then taken down to -160C which needs a ton of energy, transported at -160, again huge refrigeration costs plus the leaks, and then regassified. LNG is meant to complement a country's needs maybe up to 5-10%, not replace it at a huge cost to the consumer. Meanwhile, Russia sends its gas to India and China where they make it to LNG and sell it to Europe, so what sanctions? Its a complete joke and the consumer / taxpayer pays for it.

[@3markaw]

[@brianforrester7707]

A few things to consider : if you've got an LNG export terminal, you're not short of energy supply. Use some of the gas to power refrigeration plants, then export the rest. For example, Qatar exploits the largest gas field ever discovered (North Field) - reserves which dwarf the potential local market. LNG is a very effective and efficient way to utilise these resources.. Don't know what you mean by "ultra cleaned" as the gas produced is typically high 90's% methane (natural gas, C1), with the remainder being heavier fractions eg. ethane (C2) propane (C3) which can be extracted for sale as LPG. Leaks? from where? Any boil-off from the LNG tankers in transit (as the exterior of the tanks warm-up - despite being painted white to reflect the sun's energy) is re-injected into the centre of the LNG storage tank so LNG ships don't leak. Any leaks at the gasification or regassification plant would be both a waste and a danger so these are engineered-out. Regassification is not an energy-intensive process. Neither India nor China export LNG - neither has any capacity to do so. LNG is not a joke - it's a major gas supplier. I suggest you check your facts.

Much of the gas is converted to electricity. Increased profits could be made if the importers used the cold within the LNG to cool down the air going into engines generating electricity. A gas turbine generator, for example, can lose 10 to 20% of it's efficiency, and maximum output as air temperature rises, lowering the air density and reducing the inlet air flow to the engine. Inlet air heat exchangers, and intercooler air heat exchangers already exist for many gas turbines. Cooling the air, by transferring its heat into the boiling LNG, increases the electricity generated per unit of gas burned. Less electricity (or none) is also consumed lifting seawater to boil the LNG, so noticeably lower overall fuel costs are gained. Vaporising LNG using seawater typically makes the near shore water far colder than is normal, harming the local flora and fauna. So a second benefit is to stop this harm by not using seawater to boil LNG. This solution does require to site generators close enough to the LNG vaporiser. Ships containing up to 500 MW of generating capacity exist, and can be built that could use the cold from the LNG. I studied this in some detail a decade ago for a company that was designing FSRU's.

[@evelyncy1327]

1 ton of H2 requires 18 tons of purified water. Why is it called green? Because it takes less than 0.035 kWh to produce 9 liters of pure water from seawater, and 50-65 kWh to produce 1 kg of hydrogen from this 9 liters of pure water. The problem with hydrogen is energy consumption, not water consumption! According to calculations by Michael Webber, associate director of the Center for International Energy and Environmental Policy at the University of Texas at Austin - based on the atomic properties of water - 1 kilogram of hydrogen requires about 9 liters of water as a feedstock. In one year, 60 billion kilograms of hydrogen require 541 billion gallons of freshly distilled water. This figure is similar to the amount of water required to refine an equivalent amount of petroleum (about 3.7 to 9.5 gallons of water are required for 3.7 liters of gasoline). Water treatment systems typically require about two tons of impure water to produce one ton of pure water. That is to say, what a ton of hydrogen actually needs is not 9 tons of water, but 18 tons of water. Taking losses into account, the ratio is close to 20 tons of water per ton of hydrogen. The problem is energy consumption, not water use. Seawater desalination produces 0.035 kWh per kg H2. Then you let the water burn again. However, look at the average grid water usage per kWh of electricity. Making 50-65 kWh to make 1 kg of H2 requires far more than 9 kg or even 18 kg of water. The problem with hydrogen is energy use, not water use. The lowest cost green hydrogen will be produced in the deserts of the western US where there is an ocean, so there is no shortage of desalination.

[@jerryjoynson]

@@evelyncy1327 My comment was addressing a very low cost way to improve overall system efficiency , which also reduces the environmental burden of creating excessively cold seawater locally. Seawater is usually used to boil the Liquid NG so that it can be added to the gas pipeline network and consumed in gaseous form. The heat of vaporisation is taken from the ocean. The pumping costs money and energy, and has a detrimental impact locally. My comment has nothing to do with H2 production, nor desalination of seawater.

Europe needs to simultaneously work to GET OFF GAS. LNG is expensive and a greenhouse gas. Move to heat pumps and induction stoves.

[@pwaegemans]

Well that's interesting for consumers. At least house owners. But industry is very dependent on gas. And that's the issue. Industry was supposed to pick back up in 2022 but China was still in lock down for the majority and the war gave us inflation. I suppose halfway 2023 it will be more active. Gas prices could be way higher.

[@philipkoene5345]

Most of the gas is used for industrial processes (glas melting an the like). BTW cooking is a non issue - almost noone uses gas hobs - it's all induction anyway.

@@blava3155 The difference is that I need to get out of my house, but there is no longterm need for nuclear power plants. The biggest risk factor with nuclear is the safety in a war, if only one missile hits a nuclear power plant, half of Europe will be strongly radioactive.

[@pwaegemans]

The thing with nuclear is that it's not suitable as a peaker plant. You can't switch it on and off that easily. So in a world where we are increasingly reliable on variable renewable energy, we can't use nuclear. It's also too expensive if we build it now. It takes 10 years and by then, we'd only need it for 50% of our needs. Not enough for ROI.

[@panayiotisyannopoulos2668]

Well natural gas is really not that “natural” as also “renewables” are not that renewables or Green with the materials they use etc…. Yet natural gas is produced by two way. One is by a process that petroleum degrades to natural gas. The second is by the microbes processing organic matter. Mediterranean has large quantities of the second. Almost pure in form cause it’s bio produced. That needs almost no process prior consumer and it is replenishing itself. In all cases let’s call it methane and be done with it?:)

Actually Greece will always owe money to German and other central banks, because tourism, energy and transport/ship industries which are strong sectors don't help Greece's gdp a lot and the benefit for Greek people is minor. I was an officer in Greek owned oil tankers and i want to say that despite it's one of the highest paying jobs anyone can find in Greece, working conditions are awful, working even more than 100h per week, worst quality food, 6-8 months straight on board and when on vacation they threaten you to join again after 1-2 months or they will fire you. These companies don't pay a penny to the state except of the workers they employ on the offices, and few officers on ships, others are from Phillipines, India mostly. I left the industry and my country 4 years before and i work as a car mechanic in Denmark, and will never go back to vessels, or to Greece for more then 2-3 weeks a year.
