As part of the ongoing commissioning process for two 100-MW electrolysis plants operated by RWE Generation SE (Essen, Germany), initial quantities of renewable hydrogen are being produced in accordance with EU rules. This first hydrogen produced at the electrolysis facility in Lingen, Lower Saxon marks the successful integration of all components of the GET H2 Nukleus hydrogen project. “With GET H2 Nukleus, our first hydrogen pipelines are now entering network operation. This is an important step in establishing a hydrogen economy in the region and in Germany,” says Thomas Hüwener, CEO of OGE (Essen, Germany). At the same time, its availability makes the site more attractive for new businesses,” says Thomas Basten, Chairman of the Management Board of SYNEQT (Marl, Germany).
