Plans announced for construction of hydrogen pipeline connecting Germany and Norway, including power plant
ドイツの大手電力会社ＲＷＥとノルウェーの国有エネルギー会社エクイノールは５日、数年内に水素を燃料とする発電所をドイツに建設し、同発電所にノルウェーから水素を送る大規模なパイプラインを設置する計画を発表しました
Germany’s largest power company RWE and Norway’s state-owned energy company Equinor will build a hydrogen-fueled power plant in Germany within a few years and install a large-scale pipeline to send hydrogen from Norway to the power plant on the 5th. announced the plan
Germany aims to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2030 and decarbonize its energy sector, and this agreement is part of that effort.
After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the German government is forced to turn away from reliance on Russian energy and to secure alternative energy suppliers.
According to the companies, the operation of the power plant jointly owned by RWE and Equinor will first use natural gas produced in Norway before moving to ”blue hydrogen”.
This hydrogen is made using natural gas and sent by an undersea pipeline.
More than 95% of the carbon dioxide emitted in the production of hydrogen is captured and stored on the seabed
Equinor plans to expand hydrogen production capacity to 2 gigawatts by 2030
