OGE planning to build German CO2 pipeline

In Germany, OGE, one of the leading European gas transmission system operators, is planning to build a CO2 pipeline system. The project will focus on CO2 emissions that cannot be avoided during production processes and on the reuse of CO2 in a green circular system to import green hydrogen. This pipeline system will initially be 1,000 km long and will allow around 18 million metric tons of CO2 to be shipped per year.

To prioritize green energy supply and CO2 emission reduction, OGE and Tree Energy Solutions (TES), which recently announced a Green Energy Hub for the import of green gas in Wilhelmshaven, have entered into a strategic partnership for a CO2 circular economy. Starting from the green gas import terminal to be built by TES in Wilhelmshaven, the pipeline system will connect key industrial, power plant and mobility sites across Germany. The first part of the system is scheduled for commissioning from 2028.
