Hydrogen
We are H2-ready
Hydrogen is undoubtedly the energy source of the future. It can make a significant contribution to security of supply in Germany and accelerate the decarbonisation of the energy world.
A comprehensive, efficient and safe infrastructure is needed to transport it to where it is needed. We are convinced that our long-distance pipeline network can also perform precisely this function for hydrogen: around 4,400 kilometres, widely ramified in western Germany, located in the immediate vicinity of numerous wind and solar parks as well as industrial sites and ready to receive and transport green gases without major adjustments.
The Thyssengas network can be converted for H2 transport with little effort. This is how we are paving the way for the gradual transition to hydrogen transport.
Our H2 network
Natural gas today, hydrogen tomorrow
Our goal is to become one of the leading network operators for the transport of hydrogen and other green gases. To achieve this, we are gradually realising a demand-oriented and efficient Thyssengas H2 network with a focus on North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony.
H2 clusters
Regional clusters as regions of potential.
We want to reliably supply the first customers with hydrogen by 2032. We have identified seven regional hydrogen clusters based on market surveys and close discussions with customers and market participants on site.
In the pipepline
Our hydrogen projects
We are involved in around 35 new construction and conversion projects with a total of around 1,100 kilometres of pipeline as part of the nationwide H2 core network. Our aim is to connect industry and SMEs in our network area in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony and make an important contribution to the decarbonisation of energy-intensive sectors of the economy.
