Thyssengas carries out flaring activities in Wesel-Obrighoven

The transmission system operator Thyssengas is carrying out work on a natural gas pipeline in Wesel-Obrighoven. In connection with this work, it will be necessary to depressurise and degas the pipeline. As Thyssengas has set itself the goal of reducing the methane emissions associated with such measures as far as technically possible, a large proportion of the gas volume in the pipeline has already been removed via downstream networks.

On 2 December 2025, the remaining crowd will then be evacuated using a mobile flare system. This will result in increased noise emissions and a visible flame on this day. The mobile flare system is located in a field on the "In der Luft" road.

The planning and realisation of the measure will be carried out in close coordination with representatives of the city of Wesel. The local authorities and neighbouring residents were informed about the project in advance.
