TotalEnergies and RWE Partnership to Decarbonize Leuna Refinery with Green Hydrogen
Key Ideas
- TotalEnergies and RWE signed an agreement to supply 30,000 tons of green hydrogen annually to the Leuna refinery starting in 2030.
- The green hydrogen will be produced by a 300 MW electrolyzer in Lingen and delivered via a 600 km pipeline, preventing 300,000 tons of CO2 emissions yearly.
- TotalEnergies aims to reduce its European refineries' carbon footprint and has already contracted over 200,000 tons of green and renewable hydrogen annually for various sites.
- The agreement signifies a significant step towards achieving sustainability goals and reducing emissions in the energy sector.
TotalEnergies and German developer RWE have entered into a partnership to supply 30,000 tons of green hydrogen per year to the Leuna refinery in Germany, starting in 2030. The green hydrogen will be generated by a 300 MW electrolyzer in Lingen and transported via a 600 km pipeline to the refinery, preventing 300,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually. This initiative is part of TotalEnergies' strategy to decarbonize its European refineries and reduce its carbon footprint. The company has already secured contracts for over 200,000 tons of green and renewable hydrogen for various sites across Europe. Both TotalEnergies and RWE view this agreement as a positive step towards sustainability, emphasizing the importance of green hydrogen in reducing emissions in the energy sector.
