Consortium links up German hydrogen projects
Firms developing hydrogen projects and pipelines agree to form corridors between Wilhelmshaven, Cologne, Rhine-Ruhr and Lower Saxony
BP, energy firm Uniper, German pipeline operator NWO, steelmaker Salzgitter and European transmission system operators Gasunie, Nowega and Thyssengas have signed a letter of intent to link up hydrogen infrastructure throughout northwest Germany. The consortium plans to form a 400km north–south corridor between Wilhelmshaven—where BP and Uniper are developing an ammonia import terminal and the latter is also planning a 1GW electrolyser—and Cologne, as well as a west–east corridor from Wilhelmshaven to Rhine-Ruhr and Lower Saxony. Gasunie and Thyssengas announced plans for the north–south corridor in February, aiming to both repurpose existing networks and build new pipelines. Gasunie and Nowe
