Security of supply & infrastructure
The future of energy
starts now!
Hydrogen at OGE – providing a secure energy supply for the future. With its hydrogen business segment, OGE is opening a new chapter in energy supply. In addition to natural gas, we will also transport hydrogen, thereby taking a crucial step towards climate neutrality. The transformation is not only technically feasible; it’s becoming a reality.
Expanding knowledge, shaping the future
“I’m passionate about continuously optimising technologies.”
Dr Ann-Christin Fleer, Technology Centre, Consultant for Hydrogen Technology
The responsible way to the future
As one of the leading gas transmission system operators in Germany, OGE is making a decisive contribution to a secure energy supply for households, basic social services and industry. At the same time, we are advancing the energy transition.
Ramping up hydrogen based on science
As a technology-driven company with decades of experience in gas transportation, OGE is taking responsibility for the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy – with vision, innovation and scientific curiosity.
Climate protection in the core network: significantly fewer emissions from hydrogen transportation
Compared to today's natural gas network, grid-related emissions can be reduced by up to 96% – provided that operations are consistently low-emission and use electrically driven compressors.
First training, then transportation
To support the company’s employees as well as external skilled workers, OGE has designed and built a cutting-edge training facility. The training site in Werne includes all the important components of the H2 transport infrastructure.
Making the H2 core network a success requires political commitment
The hydrogen era is upon us, and we want to play a central role in shaping it with our own projects and by contributing to the hydrogen core network. Politics, society and business must come together to achieve this central goal.
Secure CO₂ infrastructure for climate protection
Climate scientists and energy experts agree – if we want to achieve climate neutrality, we need to ship CO₂ safely and efficiently via pipelines from the place where it is captured to storage sites or to industries that need carbon dioxide. OGE is developing a new business focussing on building and operating CO₂ infrastructure. Safety for people and the environment during CO2 transport is our top priority.
Networking for the network
“I build connections in politics and society to ensure a favourable climate.”
Dr Niko Bosnjak, Head of Policy and Communication
Ensuring lawfulness, strengthening trust
We use a comprehensive compliance system, data protection precautions, certified information security and tried-and-tested security and crisis management to tackle current and future challenges.
The OGE Code of Conduct and its objectives
The Code of Conduct sets out the key principles and rules for lawful and responsible behaviour and creates a framework for dealing with business partners, competitors, public officials and public institutions.
In the sustainability report, chapter Economy, you can read more about sustainable energy supply using natural gas, hydrogen as a safe energy carrier, the hydrogen training centre and scientific findings on H2 transport. You will also learn how a CO2 infrastructure complements the climate trio.
