TotalEnergies Signs Landmark Green Hydrogen Deal with RWE for Leuna Refinery
Key Ideas
- TotalEnergies partners with RWE 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, preventing 300,000 tons of CO2 emissions yearly.
- This agreement marks the largest green hydrogen contract with an electrolyzer in Germany, contributing to TotalEnergies' decarbonization efforts.
- TotalEnergies aims to reduce its European refineries' carbon footprint by around three million tons by 2030 through the use of low-carbon hydrogen.
TotalEnergies has signed a significant agreement with RWE to supply 30,000 tons of green hydrogen annually to the Leuna refinery in Germany from 2030 onwards. The green hydrogen will be generated by a 300 MW electrolyzer located in Lingen and delivered to the refinery through a 600 km pipeline, preventing 300,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year. This deal represents the largest green hydrogen contract with an electrolyzer in Germany and is part of TotalEnergies' commitment to decarbonize its European refineries. By using low-carbon hydrogen, TotalEnergies aims to reduce its refineries' annual CO2 emissions by approximately three million tons by 2030. This partnership showcases the importance of sustainable energy practices and marks a significant step towards achieving a more sustainable and eco-friendly energy supply chain.
