Permitting Manager
Who we are
Jade Energy Solutions is developing the Jade Energy Terminal in Wilhelmshaven, Germany’s only deep-water port and one of Europe’s most strategically significant energy infrastructure projects. Designed as a multi-energy hub, the terminal will enable the large-scale import of LNG and e-NG, with the flexibility to handle future green energy imports such as hydrogen. It will also be directly connected to Germany’s national gas grid, rail network, and emerging green energy infrastructure.
At a time when Europe is reshaping its energy supply chains, Wilhelmshaven offers a unique combination of deep-water access, existing industrial infrastructure, and strong connectivity to Germany’s grid and pipeline networks, with reach into broader European energy corridors. Jade Energy Solutions is building on these advantages to create a long-term asset that supports both near-term energy security and the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries across Germany and Europe.
We are a lean, ambitious team at an early and exciting stage, building something that matters, at a location that matters, for the long term.
