We are developing the transport infrastructure for tomorow's energy supply
Thyssengas is deeply rooted in the Ruhr region. This is where our company was founded more than 100 years ago. We have always been a reliable infrastructure partner for large industries as well as for small and medium-sized businesses. Through our transmission grid, we transport energy to indistrial customers, power plants and downstream grids.
Currently, around six billion cubic metres of natural gas reach the consumers every year; these are, in particular, municipal utilities, industrial plants and power stations. In doing so, we contribute to the supply of energy. In former times, with coke-oven gas and, these days, primarily with natural gas and biomethane.
We are now taking the next step
With a view to securing the future energy supply, we are developing a transport infrastructure for hydrogen and increasingly feeding in biomethane. In doing so, we are guided by the needs of industry, municipal utilities, power plants, and regions. We understand local needs, aggregate demand, and create suitable routes for gas transportation — to meet today’s supply needs and support the energy system of tomorrow.
One area of focus is hydrogen: In the coming years, we will gradually convert parts of our grid to transport H2 and build new pipelines where necessary. Our goal is to expand our role as a hydrogen transport network operator and to be involved in the construction of the hydrogen transport network in Germany.

What is Thyssengas H2 GmbH?
Thyssengas H2 GmbH builds and operates the hydrogen transmission grid that is currently under development in the territory of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. Following the approval of the Hydrogen Core Network - by the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur), pursuant to Section 28q of the Energy Industry Act (Energiewirtschaftsgesetz, EnWG) of 22.10. 2024 - Thyssengas H2 GmbH was designated as the company responsible for the construction of this hydrogen transmission grid of around 545 kilometres; it is moreover the contact partner for further hydrogen infrastructure expansion projects consisting of around 503 kilometres. As a result of the approval by the Federal Network Agency, Thyssengas H2 GmbH is the regulated hydrogen transmission grid operator in the Thyssengas Group. For the construction and subsequent operation of its hydrogen transmission grid, Thyssengas H2 GmbH draws on the skills of Thyssengas GmbH - which is able to contribute its many years of expertise in the construction and operation of gas grids - as well as those of third-party service providers.
