Torching activities on the station premises in the street "Hinterorbroich" in Krefeld

The transmission system operator Thyssengas has been carrying out pipeline construction work on a natural gas pipeline on behalf of Nordrheinische Erdgastransportgesellschaft (NETG) since April. In connection with this work, the pipeline needs to be depressurised and degassed. 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 Monday, 16 June 2025, the remaining crowd will be evacuated using a mobile flare system. This may result in increased noise emissions and a visible flame on this day. The flare system is located on a fenced-in station site on Hinterorbroich Street in Krefeld.

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