Another important milestone has been reached for the GET H2 Nukleus hydrogen project. The Clausthal-Zellerfeld State Office for Mining, Energy and Geology has now issued the planning approval decision for the construction of the hydrogen pipeline in Lingen-Hanekenfähr, the Nowega announced. With the 2.3 km long line, the transmission system operator Nowega wants to connect the 300 MW electrolysis plant, which the energy company RWE wants to build gradually in Lingen, to the planned hydrogen network. The green hydrogen produced via electrolysis can be transported to industrial customers in the Ruhr area. The line is scheduled to be commissioned in 2025.
“The planning approval decision for the line in Lingen is an important building block in the overall GET H2 Nukleus project. Linking the production, import, storage and use of hydrogen via a high-performance infrastructure is the core of the hydrogen economy,” says Frank Heunemann, Managing Director of Nowega GmbH. The construction site in Lingen-Hanekenfähr has already been set up and the 180 steel pipes required for the line have arrived on site. “The documents were checked very quickly and professionally,” emphasizes Dennis Hoeveler, Head of Technology at Nowega. “This helps us stay on schedule with the project.”
