Nowega has applied for planning approval for the construction of a 2.3km hydrogen pipeline on the outskirts of Lingen in northwest Germany.

The pipeline is set to run from the Hanekenfuhr station under the Dortmund-Ems canal to the Schepsdorf station in southern Lohner Sand.

The pipeline is to be operated at 70 bar and have a diameter of 0.5m.

The pipeline is expected to be linked to RWE infrastructure, with RWE’s 1.8GW Emsland gas-fired power station located close to the planned pipeline route.
