据路透社2月12日柏林报道，德国经济部长Peter Altmaier星期二表示，他对德国将在可预见的将来建造两座进口液化天然气（LNG）终端持乐观态度。

随着德国逐步淘汰核能和煤炭，该国正越来越多地使用天然气来补充可再生能源。德国正面临压力，尤其是来自美国的压力，美国要求它减少对俄罗斯天然气的依赖，以及采购液化天然气。

Altmaier在与德国和美国能源官员以及行业游说人士的一次会议上表示，德国正在权衡国家补贴和监管的程度，然后再由私人投资者建造进口液化天然气所需的终端。

Altmaier相信，在所考虑的三个地点中（布伦斯布特、施塔德和威廉港），在可预见的将来，有两个终端将建成。

Germany set to have at least 2 LNG terminals -minister

German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said on Tuesday he was optimistic that Germany would build two terminals in the foreseeable future to import liquefied natural gas (LNG).

As Germany phases out nuclear power and coal, it is increasingly turning to gas to compliment renewable energy sources. It is under pressure, especially from the United States, to cut its dependence on Russian gas and buy in LNG.

Altmaier told a meeting with German and U.S. energy officials and industry lobbyists that Germany was weighing up the extent of state subsidies and regulations before private investors build the terminals needed for LNG imports.

Of three sites under consideration - Brunsbuettel, Stade and Wilhelmshaven - Altmaier was confident terminals would be built at two in the foreseeable future.
