Get H2

Hydrogen will play a central role in achieving the climate goals. To ensure that hydrogen is available nationwide, the GET H2 project is developing a nationwide infrastructure with the coupling of all sectors. Regions where a lot of renewable electricity is generated from wind and solar energy are to be directly connected to hydrogen production and consumption with the help of the necessary infrastructure.

News (16.10.2023): Erste Erdgasleitung Deutschlands wird für die Umstellung auf Wasserstoff vorbereitet!

Im Landkreis Emsland wird heute deutschlandweit erstmalig eine Erdgasleitung für die Umstellung auf Wasserstoff vorbereitet. Dabei geht es um eine Leitung zwischen Emsbüren und Bad Bentheim. Im ersten Schritt soll hier das Erdgas auf einer Länge von 30 Kilometern aus den bestehenden Erdgasleitungen gepumpt werden. Hierdurch wird der Einsatz von Wasserstoff in den Leitungen ermöglicht – bis dieser tatsächlich in den Leitungen fließen kann, dauere es laut Netzbetreiber OGE jedoch noch bis Anfang 2025.

Die Leitung soll zukünftig Wasserstoff aus dem Emsland zu industriellen Abnehmern im Ruhrgebiet transportieren. Mehr erfahren

News (27.09.2023): geplante H2-Anbindung in Lingen genehmigt!

Und noch mehr News in dieser Woche: Die geplante H2-Anbindung von Schepsdorf bis Hanekenfähr in Lingen wurde vom Landesamt für Bergbau, Energie und Geologie (LBEG) genehmigt. In der 2,3 km langen Leitung wird der Wasserstoff von RWE AG durchlaufen. Mehr…

News (27.09.2023): Erster Wasserstoff ist produziert!

Der Elektrolyseur mit einer Leistung von 250 kW hat in Lingen den ersten Wasserstoff hergestellt. Der Hochtemperatur-Festoxid-Elektrolyseur (SOEC) kann somit bis zu 170 kg Wasserstoff am Tag produzieren. Mehr…

Die Partner bp, Evonik, Nowega, OGE und RWE haben die Realisierungsverträge unterzeichnet, um der Umsetzung des ersten integrierten IPCEI-Wasserstoffprojektes im Rahmen der Initiative GET H2 ein Stückchen näher zu kommen. Hier geht es zur Pressemitteilung.

News (31.03.2023): RWE bestellt bei Linde zwei 100-Megawatt-Elektrolyse-Anlagen für GET H2 in Lingen!

RWE has ordered two more 100 MW PEM electrolysers for the GETH2 project. In total, an electrolysis capacity of 300 MW is to be created in Lingen by 2026. An EU funding decision for the IPCEI project is still pending. More...

Within the framework of the "GET H2″ project, hydrogen is to be made available nationwide by building up the necessary infrastructure. To this end, the green hydrogen is initially to be produced with renewable energy sources and made directly available via the existing gas infrastructure for industry, transport and heat. In addition, the hydrogen can also serve as a basis for the production of e-fuels. Unused hydrogen is to be stored in underground salt caverns and used as needed, e.g. for reverse power generation during hours of low wind and low sun.

The implementation is to take place in several steps until 2030. The first step is the "GET H2 Nukleus" project. In this project, a network of around 130 kilometres from Lingen to Gelsenkirchen is to be built, which will connect the production of green hydrogen in the northwest of Lower Saxony with industrial consumers in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. From production via water electrolysis in the north to transport for industrial customers in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, the first publicly accessible hydrogen infrastructure is to be established.
