  • 08 March 2022, Saxony-Anhalt, Bad Lauchstädt: David Scheller, site foreman, walks along the compressor of VNG AG’s underground gas storage facility. The storage facility combines the storage types cavern and pore storage. Here, the gas is stored either in large cavities (caverns) in the salt dome or in porous rock. The fill level of all the company’s storage facilities is 25 percent, which is typical for the season. Scientists believe that a short-term supply stop of Russian gas would be manageable for the German economy. However, this would require more liquefied gas to be procured on the world market.
