Actually everything went better than expected for Stephan Knabe and Ingo Wagner. They had an idea, a project and the necessary capital, 100 million euros.

When the first LNG terminal in Lubmin opened in January, which Knabe and Wagner hurriedly opened, he praised the project as an example of how fast things can happen in Germany.
