Germany's economy ministry plans to create a national gas reserve for emergencies such as sabotage or the loss of major gas infrastructure.

The reserve would hold 24 terawatt-hours of gas, enough to cover the loss of Germany's largest gas import infrastructure for 30 days.

The government wants to fund the reserve through a charge on gas consumers, rather than from the federal budget.
