We are convinced: Using and transporting hydrogen as an energy source is essential for the energy transition and achieving the climate goals. In the future, hydrogen will be a connecting element between all sectors, and enable the further inclusion of renewables and climate-neutral energy sources.
Our hydrogen projects, involvement and studies
- Flow – making hydrogen happen: The pipeline system for hydrogen
- AquaDuctus – Transport pipeline for green hydrogen from the North Sea
- Study: Hydrogen production on the high seas
- Study: Development of a Hydrogen Market in Eastern Germany until 2045
- Whitepaper – Hydrogen infrastructure – the pillar of energy transition
- Hydrogen network 2050: for a climate-neutral Germany
Different forms of hydrogen
Hydrogen is categorized into different forms – green, gray, blue or turquoise hydrogen. Green hydrogen is produced on a climate-neutral basis from renewable energies. In the case of gray hydrogen, which is obtained from natural gas, CO2 is emitted. With blue hydrogen, CO2 is separated and stored (carbon capture, usage and storage). Turquoise hydrogen is produced through thermal methane cracking, with solid carbon being produced instead of CO2.
Our network is open to hydrogen
Energy, gas transport and pipelines are our expertise – we also support using the existing gas infrastructure for hydrogen. Transporting hydrogen with the existing infrastructure makes use of available assets, is cost-efficient, and relies on a Europe-wide network and storage opportunities.
