Gasunie and Thyssengas plan German hydrogen corridor
The north–south network will transport hydrogen from Wilhelmshaven to industrial users in Wesseling by 2028
Gas infrastructure companies Gasunie and Thyssengas have announced plans to commission a 400km hydrogen network between Wilhelmshaven and Wesseling by 2028. The firms expect to transport hydrogen produced at the planned green energy hub in Wilhelmshaven—where a 500MW electrolyser is planned—as well as imports from Norway to industrial users near Cologne. Gasunie and Thyssengas expect to both repurpose existing gas pipelines and construct new hydrogen pipelines for the network. The northern half of the network will also include storage facilities at the Nuettermoor and Etzel salt caverns, which currently store natural gas. Gasunie is a partner on a study to test hydrogen storage in the cavern
