RWE and OGE propose $3.8bn German hydrogen network
Project would link green hydrogen supply in north with Germany’s industrial demand centres by 2030
Energy company RWE and gas grid operator OGE have outlined a €3.5bn ($3.84bn) proposal to link northern Germany’s emerging green hydrogen supply base with industrial consumers in the west and the south of the country via a 1,500km pipeline network. The proposals envisage the creation of a national hydrogen backbone that could meet 60pc of Germany’s expected hydrogen demand in 2030 by connecting electrolysers, storage sites and import projects on the northwest coast with offtakers along a corridor spanning key industrial regions. OGE would install dedicated new hydrogen pipelines and convert some existing natural gas lines. “RWE intends to set up and operate additional electrolysis capacities
