Thyssengas GmbH is a German natural gas transmission system operator (TSO) headquartered in Dortmund. It operates a high-pressure pipeline network primarily in North Rhine-Westphalia and neighboring regions, transporting gas to utilities, industrial sites, power plants, and storage facilities. As a regulated network operator, Thyssengas provides grid access, capacity management, and system balancing in line with German and EU energy regulations.
The company is also preparing its network for the energy transition, including the conversion and development of infrastructure for hydrogen transport and interoperability with neighboring systems. Its activities support the secure supply of energy to major industrial clusters, notably in the Ruhr area, and the integration of future cross-border hydrogen flows between Germany and surrounding countries.

Targeting: Hydrogen (5)
Initial green hydrogen from Lingen delivered via ~120 km pipeline to Evonik’s Marl site, demonstrating an integrated hydrogen value chain and ramp-up toward 200 MW.
Cross‑border hydrogen link planned between Zevenaar and Elten by 2031, reusing existing gas pipelines; first phase connects the Rhine‑Ruhr region, later southern hubs such as Ludwigshafen
King and minister inaugurated the first pipeline segment. Network planned ~1,200 km via repurposed gas pipelines, linking Dutch industry to Germany and Belgium; first plant now connected.
New agreements establish key technical and organizational aspects for safe, reliable cross-border hydrogen transport between the Netherlands and Germany.
Framework contracts worth €2.5B signed with six suppliers for hydrogen, natural gas, and CO2 pipelines, emphasizing sustainability and efficient material procurement.
The agreement involves 30,000 metric tons of green hydrogen annually, reducing CO2 emissions by 300,000 tons, supported by a hydrogen network and storage facilities in Germany.
RWE's 300-MW green hydrogen project in Lingen progresses with a new 100-MW electrolyser from Sunfire and integration by Bilfinger, set for completion by 2027.
Germany grants over €619M for hydrogen projects, including a 300-MW electrolyser in Lingen and a 100-MW plant in Rostock. Federal and state governments cover 70% and 30% of funding, respectively.
