Ruhr Area - Heart of the European H2 economy

The Ruhr area as an industrial centre of Germany is a focal point of the OGE's project activities. In cooperation with companies from various industrial sectors, we are planning the decarbonization of the region. The first hydrogen transports will be possible as early as 2024 and the entire Ruhr area will be supplied by 2030.
