Hydrogen Valley Emsland

With 6 MW operational electrolyser capacity as well as 16 MW currently being build and more than 400 MW planned till 2026 (IPCEI), the Hydrogen Valley Emsland is Germanys leading region in producing green hydrogen. Germanys first non-discriminating hydrogen pipeline infrastructure will not only allow transporting hydrogen towards large demand sites like Ruhr area but also use it for regional industries (especially (petro-)chemistry) pilot projects (e.g. green steel) and mobility.
