18°C at the moment, thanks 😉 Btw, most of nat gas is used by the industry as raw material for proceeding steel, glass, paper and lots of other things. 48% of Germany's electricity gets produced with renewables (wind, solar, water). I' m using only wind power for my electricity since 15 years. Greetings from Germany 😉

@pedro lopes Most of nat gas gets used by the industry as raw material for proceeding things like steel, glass, paper, plastic, dairy products, cosmetics, medical items like for dialysis etc, Aspirin and lots of other things. Only a tiny percentage of German nat gas consumption is used for heating.

@GrimdarkKing Yup, it's the "click, buy, get delivered" mentality :-((

No companies, no Jobs, no Jobs, no money, no economy, simple as that! Btw, most of German nat gas consumption is used as raw material for proceeding things like steel, glass, paper etc, but also bakeries and others are using it. Only a small percentage is used for heating. Therefor DW was talking mostly about protecting companies.

Have a look at the project "green hydrogen coast line", which is done by the Netherlands, Danmark and Germany. This will be the future, its all on the way. Faun Group - hydrogen powered trucks/ vehicles Alston world wide first 14 hydrogen powered trains in Lower Saxony. Emden with a huge green hydrogen production plant. Hydrogen will replace nat gas as raw material for proceeding things, like at BASF.

Those are the 200 Billion Euros the German Gvt was talking about. If the economy gets bust, it will cost much more, simple as that.

@DanA-nl5uo Germany has thousands of small and midsize companies, they also need support. I guess, you know Germany very well? NOT.

@jayakumarkaarikuzhy4713 Thanks 😉 Your relatives in the UK are in a much worse situation as us here on the Continent, due to Brexit. It's never a good idea to walk alone (UK), together we're stronger, always! One for all and all for one = solidarity for the people, that's what the EU is about. All the best to you and your family/ relatives with greetings from Germany/ EU 😉

@awonderingsoul2445 Ok, Baerbock ist Aussenministerin, Lindner der Finanzminister. Eigentlich befinden sich Deutschland und die EU gerade im Umbruch Richtung grüner Wasserstoff, siehe das Projekt "green hydrogen coast line", die Niederlande, Dänemark und Deutschland sind beteiligt. Entlang der Küste sind Electrolyseure im Bau und BASF bekommt 134 Millionen Euro zwecks Bau eines Werkseigenen Elektrolyseurs für die Herstellung von grünem Wasserstoff als Ersatz fürs Gas. Trotzdem danke für die Info! Alles Gute 😉

@awonderingsoul2445 Canada? Mein Bruder hat bis vor einigen Jahren in Calgary gelebt. Ja, danke, das wird schon! Die EU / Deutschland hat einen "strammen" Zeitplan, um von allen fossilen Brennstoffen auszusteigen, Ziel war/ ist 2030-2045. Die jetzige Situation beschleunigt aber gerade alles. Wärmepumpen Solar Paneele etc, alles ausverkauft. 48% des Stroms werden bereits mit Erneuerbaren produziert (Wind, Solar, Wasser). Wir könnten bereits weiter sein, aber na ja. Daimler und Volvo Trucks und die Faun Gruppe haben Wasserstoff betriebene Trucks entwickelt, die bereits in Betrieb sind und vor einigen Wochen sind die Weltweit ersten 14 Wasserstoffzüge (Alston) in Niedersachsen in Betrieb gegangen. Namibia und Deutschland wollen den Weltgrößten Solarpark errichten, zusammen mit einer Produktionsanlage für grünen Wasserstoff und Ammoniak. Grüße nach Canada 😉

Because the buffers are full at the moment, but nat gas suppliers have to buy continiusly, and the prices are moving a lot because of the war.

@jayakumarkaarikuzhy4713 A "harsh" winter, like 2011/2012 started already in October with snow and temperatures around 0°C, not like now, where we still have between 15-18°C. Doesn't mean, that it couldn't get very cold in Jan/Feb, but that's mostly like that. Therefor we've saved already lots of nat gas because of the 6 weeks longer "warm" weather until now 😉 Btw, 12 weeks -19°C, that's a "harsh" winter and happened in 2010/2011 😉

@antirashists He can sell his palaces 😉 😉 😉

@rubenoteiza9261 you were talking about the UK and companies leaving the UK = because of Brexit. BASF is in Germany, nothing to do with Brexit. Greetings from Germany
2
@rubenoteiza9261 Most companies left the UK/GB because of Brexit, nothing to do with the recent situation. And lots of companies ARE ALREADY IN CHINA, they don't have to move there.
2
@DanA-nl5uo Didn't say that at all. Germany is a very wealthy country and can afford to do what will be done now.
2
@duncansmith7562 In case you're from the UK/GB, ask your recent Gvt about the mess 😉
2
@DanA-nl5uo No, but I know what the German Gvt was saying: the 200 Billion Euros are to protect the German economy and to support the German people up to the end of April 2024. Greetings from Germany 😉
2
@blacquejacqueshellaque6373 Germany puts the price caps on internal, therefor the Gvt put up a "protection shield" with a value of 200 Billion Euros to protect the German industry/companies. Its only until end of April 2024, by that time alternatives, like hydrogen, should be available.
2
@awonderingsoul2445 The German Gvt will pay the gap between full and reduced nat gas price to support the economy and the people.

@jonathanodude6660 No, they didn't. This time it's Germany's fault (or at least the excuse), Macron said.
1
@jessefisher1809 ???? Have a look at the latest news about the "Midcat project": Macron refuses the project. Spain, Portugal and Germany are talking about a Sea pipeline instead. No "sowing division", just simple facts, unfortunately.
1
@swift_learn Have a look about the project "green hydrogen coast line", which is going on with the Netherlands, Danmark and Germany. Along the coast electrolyseurs are under construction (wind to power).
1
@jessefisher1809 Not really, again, just have a look at the latest news about the Midcat project.

@blacquejacqueshellaque6373 The 200 billion Euros the German Gvt has "put up" to protect the German economy and the German citizens, lets call it "investment for the future", because it would cost much more, if the German economy would shrink. About green hydrogen: the EU/ Germany will replace all fossil fuels (oil, coal, nat gas) with green hydrogen, the goal is focused on 2030-2045. The recent situation is a booster/ speeding up/ forcing the progress "going green, this is why the German Gvt has set the year 2024, pressure sometimes helps ;-)) The Netherlands, Danmark and Germany have the project "green hydrogen coast line", Fraunhofer Institute Bremerhaven is involved as well, all subsidiesed by the EU and the Gvts. Hydrogen can be used as storage battery for the overloads from the offshore windmill parks and others. Lots of start ups are working on alternative storage possibilities as well. Hydrogen can replace nat gas as raw material for proceeding things like steel, paper, glass etc. Along the coast lines electrolyseurs are under construction to produce green hydrogen (wind to power). Daimler and Volvo Trucks and the Faun Group have developed hydrogen powered vehicles/ trucks, which are already in use. Some weeks ago the world wide first 14 hydrogen powered trains (Alston) started their service in Lower Saxony/ Germany. BASF just received 135 million Euros for building an Electrolyseur to produce its own green hydrogen to replace nat gas. 48%of Germany's electricity gets produced with renewables (wind, solar, water) and I'm using wind powered electricity since 15 years.

@carlomontecarlo7881 Exactly! This is why the price cap gets installed, as said in the DW report.

Talk to Poo- tin about this subject.

Have you ever been in Germany at winter time? The last "harsh" winter we had over here was 2011/2012. At the moment we have an average temperature of 18 °C, between 12 and 15 °C higher then normal for this time of year. "Thanks" to the climate change :-(( Btw, the German Gvt is paying the gap, not the nat gas supplier ....
1
@stevemcgowen Well, I hope, you never need Aspirin or a dialysis or other "unimportant things" in your life. Why so much hate? It's the worlds largest chemical production plant. Could end up bad for most of us, when its failing.
1
@DanA-nl5uo Read through again, your first comment was about DW just talking about companies, so I answered on that. I covered all the aspects of coverage, the German Gvt is financially doing, as an "extra" of DW report, so nothing to complain about 😉 How is it going in the UK, happy with Sunak's financial plans? I doubt.
1
As far as I know, its set up until end of April 2024, by then there should be different solutions, like hydrogen etc.

@awonderingsoul2445 Das ist der Lindnersche Schattenhaushalt. Immer noch kostengünstiger als der Niedergang der Deutschen Wirtschaft, oder?!

@duncansmith7562 Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium have taken over from Russia with nat gas supply for the EU 😉

@duncansmith7562 The new contracts are about green hydrogen. The EU/ Germany will replace all fossil fuels (oil, coal, nat gas) with green hydrogen, the goal is focused on 2030-2045. The Netherlands, Danmark and Germany have the project "green hydrogen coast line", Fraunhofer Institute Bremerhaven is involved as well, all subsidiesed by the EU and Gvts. Hydrogen can be used as storage battery for the overloads from the offshore windmill parks and others. Lots of start ups are working on alternative storage possibilities as well.

Some weeks ago the world wide first 14 hydrogen powered trains (Alston) started their service in Lower Saxony/ Germany. Namibia and Germany will build the worlds largest solar park including production plants for green hydrogen and Ammoniac. The LNG terminals (recently under construction) are convertable for hydrogen. If this terrible war wouldn't be, we wouldn't even have to talk about this subject.
