Background

The GET H2 Nukleus project connects the production of green hydrogen with industrial consumers in Lower Saxony and NRW. The first phase, expected in 2024 is an approximately 130-kilometre network from Lingen to Marl consisting of a mix of converted and newly built hydrogen pipelines.

The second and third phases feature connections to other parts of the future German hydrogen network, as well as a connection to the Netherlands.

This project is expected to be part of Europe's PCI 6 list. The pipeline is expected to be built in 3 phases, between 2025 and 2030.
