(Reuters) — German pipeline operator Gascade said on Tuesday it would provide what is expected to be the first pipeline connecting LNG to the German gas network.

The pipeline, measuring a few hundred meters in length, will connect a first floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) to a landing station near the town of Lubmin, according to Gascade.

The pipeline with a feed-in capacity of approximately 6 gigawatt-hours per hour should be built before the end of 2022, said Gascade.
