Thyssengas image film

We are not just a transmission system operator. We are Thyssengas. We ensure the secure supply of energy in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony and, at the same time, we are working towards the transportation of hydrogen and other green gases. This is how we are actively shaping the energy transition in western Germany - here, where we have been at home for over 100 years.

100 years of company history in four minutes

This film, by the designer and video artist Michael Herling, allows you to look back at key milestones in our company's history and gives an idea of the direction we will take in the coming century, namely, "With energy into the future".

Technical training at Thyssengas - Mechatronics technician (m/f/d)

Would you like to undertake an exciting apprenticeship and, simultaneously, play a part in the energy transition? With us you will have the opportunity to do this. Mehmet-Can provides an insight into technical training as a mechatronics technician – you will learn a lot here and will be able to achieve a great many things.

Completion of the Datteln-Herne natural gas transmission pipeline

Since 2017, we have taken you with us step by step - from the planning approval to the construction phase and completion of our new natural gas transport pipeline from Datteln to Herne. Thyssengas has now successfully put the new pipeline into operation.

Monitoring critical infrastructure

To make aerial surveillance of our grid more efficient and environmentally friendly, we are planning to use the innovative possibilities of drones in the future.

Saxophone duet with the pipeline

Thyssengas GmbH provided information on the current status of its project to build a natural gas transmission pipeline stretching from Datteln to Herne - accompanied by a musical performance by the saxophonist Ralf Hartung.

Microtunnelling technique in Herne

We are currently using a 24-tonne drilling rig to pass under the Rhine-Herne Canal and the Emscher river in order to construct a 400 metre long tunnel for the planned natural gas pipeline.

Explanatory video - What do the colours of hydrogen mean?

Wiebke Neuhaus, an Environmental Engineer and Consultant for Grid Partners and Technical Contracts at Thyssengas, explains why colours are attributed to hydrogen and what this has to do with its production.

Explanatory video - The technical requirements for converting pipelines from natural gas to H2

In this video, Nikolai Hochbein, an Operations Engineer at Thyssengas with a focus on the energy transition, explains what the properties of hydrogen (H2) and natural gas, or more correctly methane (CH4), mean for the conversion of our pipelines.

Explanatory video - How safe is it to transport hydrogen through pipelines?

The Thyssengas pipeline system can be converted with little effort to transport H2. In the video, Marcel Tilly, an Operations Engineer at Thyssengas with a focus on high-pressure gas pipelines, explains how such a conversion works.
