TotalEnergies and RWE have entered into a landmark agreement to supply green hydrogen to the Leuna refinery in Germany as part of TotalEnergies' 2030 goal to decarbonize hydrogen usage in its European refineries. The agreement, spanning 15 years and commencing in 2030, entails the supply of 30,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. RWE will build and operate a 300 MW electrolyzer in Lingen to produce the green hydrogen, which will then be transported to the refinery through a 600 km pipeline. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce the refinery's CO2 emissions by approximately 300,000 tons per year, marking a substantial contribution to carbon reduction efforts. Notably, this agreement represents the largest green hydrogen supply contract ever from an electrolyzer in Germany. Key figures from both companies, including Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, and Markus Krebber, Chief Executive Officer of RWE, have expressed enthusiasm and pride in the partnership. Pouyanné highlighted the importance of the long-term contract for green hydrogen in reducing CO2 emissions at the Leuna refinery, attributing its success to the support and completion of the H2 backbone by German authorities. Krebber emphasized the significance of securing such an agreement with TotalEnergies, underscoring the effectiveness of hydrogen when coupled with the right incentives for customers. The CEOs' remarks underscore the strategic significance of green hydrogen in the energy transition, as well as the role of partnerships in driving sustainable energy practices.
