New Pipeline Construction 500/500.1 & 501

Hydrogen pipelines 500 and 500.1 connect RWE Generation's 300 MW electrolysis plant at the Lingen-Hanekenfähr power plant site in the district of Emsland, Lower Saxony, with the Nowega distribution station in Schepsdorf, southwest of Lingen. Pipeline 500 runs for 2,250 meters from the power plant site to the Schepsdorf station, crossing the Ems River and the Dortmund-Ems Canal. Connection pipeline 500.1 covers 460 meters on the power plant site to the electrolyzer. Both pipelines have a nominal diameter of DN 500 and are operated at up to 70 bar operating pressure. At the Schepsdorf station, the pipeline connects to pipeline 40b in the direction of Nordhorn for onward transport to industrial customers in the Ruhr area.
The project is being carried out by Nowega GmbH and is part of the GET H2 Nukleus initiative.
