Torching activities at the Open Grid Europe (OGE) station at Bruchweg 42 in Krefeld Elfrath

The transmission system operator Thyssengas has been commissioned to carry out maintenance work on a natural gas pipeline belonging to Open Grid Europe GmbH (OGE).

In connection with this measure, the pipeline will be taken out of operation for a short time and the remaining residual gas will be burnt in a controlled and climate-friendly manner using a mobile flare system. This will result in a visible flame and increased noise emissions on Wednesday, 14 February 2024, next to the OGE station at Bruchweg 42 in Krefeld Elfrath.

The planning and implementation of the measure is being carried out in close coordination with the city of Krefeld. The local authorities and neighbouring residents have been informed about the project in advance.
