BP, Evonik Industries, the pipeline operators Nowega and Oge, and the power company RWE have agreed to create a green hydrogen pipeline running from Lingen to Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The partners say the pipeline—which will mainly use existing pipes—will be available to all industrial companies starting in late 2022.
