TotalEnergies has decided to demobilise its floating LNG terminal in Le Havre, France. The terminal was set up in 2022, when Europe faced a major energy crisis due to the sharp decline in Russian gas imports. The FLNG terminal acted as a safety net, providing additional gas import capacity in the event of significant consumption peaks caused by winter weather conditions or geopolitical tensions.
Now that gas supply conditions in France and Europe have stabilised, TotalEnergies notes that the floating LNG terminal in Le Havre is no longer necessary, as evidenced by its lack of use and as observed by the Rouen Administrative Court in its decision of October 16, 2025.
