The planned Nord Stream 2 - carrying gas from Russia - reaches mainland Europe and joins the gas network at Lubmin near Greifswald. From there, the natural gas is distributed flexibly within Europe via the pipelines EUGAL and NEL (North European Gas Pipeline). The infrastructure for that is being created at Nord Stream 2’s landing point: the Lubmin 2 natural gas receiving station.
