Enabling change

We are changing to enable change. This means that we not only act sustainably in our own company, but also want to contribute to the transformation of entire sectors of the economy through our own change. For us, "enabling change" not only means making a contribution to the energy transition in the industrial location of North Rhine-Westphalia, but also being a committed advocate for issues that go beyond our core business. Who better to report on this than those who are responsible for it in our company? On this page you will find some concrete examples.

Strategic market development

We go where the demand is - to the many SMEs and municipal utilities. In around 180 individual meetings in 2023, we specified the H2 requirements of potential grid connection customers. We spoke to around 20 stakeholders to sound out possible grid expansions. We have informed around 400 existing and potential grid connection customers about our plans in webcasts. We have already signed letters of intent with around 50 companies regarding a connection to our future H2 grid.

Thyssengas dialogue

Under the title "NRW is ready for the H2 ramp-up, the excavators must roll now", we hosted the third edition of our political dialogue event "Thyssengas Dialogue" in mid-2024. In addition to representatives from politics, stakeholders from the entire H2 value chain were guests in Dortmund to discuss the current status and the next steps on the road to the hydrogen economy. The event was also evidence of the rapid development of the topic. Just two years earlier, in our first issue, we posed the fundamental question of how a rapid hydrogen ramp-up can succeed.

With the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship, we have been providing financial support to students at three universities in the region since 2024 and offer them a comprehensive supporting programme. Students from particularly sustainable or innovative degree programmes are supported, such as

The Deutschlandstipendium offers us the ideal opportunity to intensify the dialogue with science and to support committed students who will shape the future of the energy world.
