Thyssengas publishes third sustainability report

The Dortmund-based transmission system operator Thyssengas has published its third sustainability report. On around 40 pages, the company explains its understanding of sustainability and describes the main activities of 2023 - a year that, in addition to setting the course for the development of a hydrogen pipeline infrastructure, has meant further development for Thyssengas in many respects.

"With the transition to hydrogen and other green gases, sustainability is gradually moving to the centre of our business model. This requires new structures, clear goals and a growing team of experts with proven and new skills. For this reason, we have further developed our understanding of sustainability this year and redesigned what is now our third sustainability report," say Managing Directors Dr Thomas Gößmann and Dr Thomas Becker in the foreword to the new report, which is entitled "Thinking tomorrow - We are changing to enable change".

In this year's report, the company focuses, among other things, on its efforts to record and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Employees from various areas of the company vividly describe how a significant reduction in emissions has been achieved since the first reporting in 2019.

Thyssengas also describes the transformation of natural gas to green gases, which reached an important milestone just a few days ago with the submission of the joint application by all German transmission system operators to the Federal Network Agency for the realisation of the hydrogen core network.

The company also shows how it is committed to a sustainable future beyond its own corporate boundaries - through its own transformation in its core business, which is intended to help industrial and medium-sized companies meet their energy needs sustainably, as well as through its strong social commitment in the region.

For the first time, the new sustainability report is also available in a two-page abridged version. Both versions can be found on the Thyssengas website.
