ITM Power: first hydrogen from RWE’s Lingen plant reaches customer
- ITM Power and Linde Engineering are delivering two 100 MW electrolysis plants to RWE in Lingen.
- Green hydrogen produced at Lingen was transported approximately 120 km by pipeline to Evonik’s chemical park in Marl.
- The delivery represents one of the first operational hydrogen value chains in Europe.
- The project is in commissioning and will ramp up toward full 200 MW commercial operation, demonstrating large-scale PEM electrolysis maturity.
Project milestone
ITM Power reports successful production and delivery of initial quantities of green hydrogen from RWE’s electrolysis plant in Lingen as part of the GET H2 Nukleus project.
Production and transport
Green hydrogen has been produced at Lingen and transported via approximately 120 km of hydrogen pipeline infrastructure for usage at Evonik’s chemical park in Marl, demonstrating integration of large-scale hydrogen production, transport and industrial offtake.
Scale and partners
ITM Power and Linde Engineering are delivering two 100 MW plants to RWE in Lingen, forming one of the first operational hydrogen value chains in Europe and showcasing the maturity of large-scale PEM electrolysis.
Next steps
The project is undergoing continued commissioning and ramp-up towards full 200 MW commercial operation. Dennis Schulz, CEO of ITM Power, described the outcome as “a landmark achievement for the hydrogen industry” and said the company looks forward to supporting the ramp-up.
