Equinor, RWE form hydrogen infrastructure partnership

Equinor ASA and RWE AG have formed a strategic energy partnership that includes blue and green hydrogen production and transportation. The investments are contingent on construction of a hydrogen pipeline between Norway and Germany and a German hydrogen downstream infrastructure. In anticipation of this infrastructure, Equinor and RWE have proposed a series of investments to develop dedicated offshore hydrogen projects along the pipeline and gradually ramp up the renewable (green) hydrogen portion of German imports. This includes 3 Gw of hydrogen-ready combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power generation capacity in Germany.The companies are targeting increased European hydrogen supply and its use in the power sector starting in 2030. Equinor intends to invest in an initial 2 Gw of low-carbon (blue) hydrogen capacity in Norway by 2030 and up to 10 Gw by 2038. The hydrogen…
