Hydrogen
We are making our grid H2-ready;
we are therefore converting existing pipelines and gradually developing a continuous hydrogen transport network. Hydrogen will grow in importance for the supply of energy in the future and it will contribute to the resilience of the energy system. Moreover, when hydrogen is produced using renewable energy sources it bolsters decarbonisation.
A comprehensive, efficient and safe infrastructure is needed to transport it to where it is needed. We are convinced that our transmission grid can provide an important basis for hydrogen transportation in the future. Therefore, we are converting existing pipelines and gradually developing a hydrogen transport network.
The Thyssengas grid is gradually being converted and expanded for H2 transport. We are thus creating the infrastructural preconditions for the transition to hydrogen transportation.
Our H2 network
Natural gas today, but increasingly hydrogen and biomethane
We are expanding our role as a hydrogen and biomethane transmission grid operator. 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 pipeline
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 grid area in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony to the hydrogen transport network and, thus, to support the decarbonisation of the energy-intensive sectors of the economy.

We are committed
GET H2
Together with our partners, we are working on creating the technical, regulatory and contractual preconditions for a competitive hydrogen market. We are gradually creating a hydrogen infrastructure that connects the producers, storage, importers and customers as well as linking to other hydrogen networks.
This is GET H2
T-piece
Your connection to the core network
Would you like to secure access to the core network at an early stage without making any major commitments? A so-called ‘T-piece’ offers you this flexibility. Find out more here about your T-piece on the core network.
