Torch activities on 01/07/2025 in the street "Auf dem Eyland" in Emmerich am Rhein

The transmission system operator Thyssengas is carrying out pipeline construction work on a natural gas pipeline on behalf of Nordrheinische Erdgastransportgesellschaft (NETG). 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 in the pipeline has already been transported via downstream networks.

On Wednesday, 25 June 2025, and Thursday, 26 June 2025, the pumping operation will take place in order to feed further residual quantities into the downstream grids. This process may result in noise emissions. On Tuesday, 1 July 2025, the remaining volume will then be evacuated using a mobile flare system. This will result in increased noise emissions and a visible flame on these days. The flare system is located on a fenced-in station site in the street "Auf dem Eyland" in Emmerich am Rhein.

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