TotalEnergies, RWE partner on green hydrogen

The company states: “In line with its 2030 ambition to decarbonize the hydrogen used in its European refineries, TotalEnergies (TTE) has signed an agreement with the German developer RWE (RWEOY) to supply 30,000 tons a year of green hydrogen to the German Leuna refinery for fifteen years, beginning in 2030. The green hydrogen will be produced by a 300 MW electrolyzer, built and operated by RWE in Lingen. Green hydrogen storage will be provided locally. The green hydrogen will be delivered by a 600 km pipeline to the gates of the refinery and will prevent the site’s emission of some 300,000 tons of CO2 beginning in 2030. This is the largest quantity of green hydrogen ever contracted from an electrolyzer in Germany.”
