German energy company RWE has entered into an offtake agreement with TotalEnergies to supply 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to the Leuna refinery starting in 2030. The green hydrogen will be produced by a 300 MW electrolyser in Lingen, with RWE also providing hydrogen storage locally and transporting the gas to the refinery through a 600 km pipeline. This deal marks the largest contracted quantity of green hydrogen in Germany and is viewed as a crucial step in reducing CO2 emissions. TotalEnergies has been actively working towards decarbonizing its hydrogen usage across European refineries, with commitments to over 200,000 tonnes of green and renewable hydrogen per year at various sites. Moreover, the company has partnered with Air Liquide to invest over €1 billion in large-scale green hydrogen projects in the Netherlands, emphasizing its growing focus on clean energy initiatives. RWE is also testing different electrolysis technologies under industrial conditions, showcasing a commitment to exploring innovative solutions for green hydrogen production.
