About us

We transport energy

Thyssengas is deeply rooted in the Ruhr region – this is where our history began over 100 years ago. In this region we have always been a reliable partner for large industries as well as for small and medium-sized businesses. Our high-performance transmission grid provides an important basis for reliable and resilient energy infrastructure in our region. At the same time, we are gradually developing it for the transportation of hydrogen in the future, increasingly feeding in biomethane and, in doing so, we want to contribute to decarbonisation.

At present, we transport around six billion cubic metres of natural gas per year to municipal utilities, industrial plants and power stations. At the same time, we are undergoing the biggest transformation in our company's history. In the future, we want to transport more biomethane through our grid and also to get hydrogen to there where it is needed.

Hydrogen

We are bringing H2 to the region

Hydrogen will grow in importance for the future energy supply and will contribute to the resilience of the energy system. Moreover, when it is produced using renewable energy it will bolster carbonisation. However, this requires a high-performance infrastructure that reliably enables H2 transport. Our transmission grid offers ideal conditions for this: located throughout western Germany, near industrial and power plant sites, and connected to European generation and import corridors.

Biomethane

Biomethane can replace fossil natural gas and thus contribute to decarbonisation. 

We are increasingly using it for our own operational consumption and are expanding the feed-in capacities in our pipeline grid. As a substitute for fossil natural gas, biomethane can make a contribution to decarbonisation and the security of supply.

Natural gas

Natural gas is an important part of the energy system today. 

By transporting it safely and reliably we are contributing to the security of supply. As a transmission system operator, we reliably transport natural gas to municipal utilities, industrial companies and power plants. At the same time, we continue to develop our grid so that it will continue to meet the needs of our customers and regions in the future.

Sustainability

Keeping tomorrow in mind

We transport natural gas safely and reliably today. At the same time, we are further developing our business model by expanding our transport infrastructure for hydrogen and by increasingly integrating biomethane step by step. In doing so, we are creating part of the infrastructural conditions for the transformation of the energy system in our region. Our vision of sustainability is a holistic one that combines corporate responsibility at the environmental, economic and social levels.
