They form the technological heart of REFHYNE 2 and will be where renewable hydrogen is produced: the arrival of the first electrolyser stacks marks another milestone for the hydrogen project at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland. These components use electricity from renewable sources to produce hydrogen from water. The hydrogen will be used in production processes at the site. The firs
Regional transport association Cologne (RVK) is expanding into its own green hydrogen production. With a ceremonial groundbreaking in Mechernich, the company has launched two new hydrogen production facilities – a further facility is being built in parallel at the Bergisch Gladbach site. The facilities are scheduled to be operational by the end of 2026.
At the Mechernich site, a hydrogen refuel
Die Regionalverkehrsverbund Köln (RVK) expandiert in die Eigenerzeugung von grünem Wasserstoff. Mit einem symbolischen Spatenstich in Mechernich hat das Unternehmen den Startschuss für zwei neue Wasserstoff-Produktionsanlagen gegeben – eine weitere entsteht parallel am Standort Bergisch Gladbach. Die Anlagen sollen bis Ende 2026 betriebsbereit sein.

Much of the hydrogen consumed in Germany will need to be supplied by imports. Imports therefore play an essential role in hydrogen ramp-up. Accordingly, cross-border partnerships are crucial, as they drive the joint development of infrastructure for transport, storage, and application. In our Drei-Fragen-An-Interview with Britta van Boven, Managing Director of Gasunie Deutschland, we discuss the g
Open Grid Europe (OGE), Thyssengas, and the Dutch transmission system operator Gasunie have signed an agreement to establish a cross-border hydrogen corridor between Germany and the Netherlands. The plan is to connect the national hydrogen grids via the Zevenaar-Elten border crossing. To achieve this, existing natural gas pipelines will be converted to hydrogen transport wherever possible. The con
Die Open Grid Europe (OGE), Thyssengas und der niederländische Fernleitungsnetzbetreiber Gasunie haben eine Vereinbarung zum Aufbau eines grenzüberschreitenden Wasserstoffkorridors zwischen Deutschland und den Niederlanden unterzeichnet. Geplant ist, die nationalen Wasserstoffnetze über den Grenzübergangspunkt Zevenaar-Elten miteinander zu verbinden. Dafür sollen soweit möglich bestehende Erdgasle
