… measuring system), we are working on a plant for transferring hydrogen from the ONTRAS network to a large consumer. The background: The long-distance gas pipelines transport the fed-in hydrogen to the transfer point in Leuna. The plan is for this hydrogen to be split off beforehand by large-scale electrolysis in the “Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park.” The electricity required for this is to be supplied by a wind farm that is yet to be built. The new hydrogen infrastructure will be tested in a research operation lasting several years.
In the Leuna Chemical Park, Germany's largest self-contained chemical park, more than 100 companies from ten countries are currently working on the chemical industry of the future on an area of 13 square kilometers.
