Second place, as in “they came in only second,” is an often neglected honor. Indeed, it is easy to overlook the tremendous achievement that second and third place re- present. To remedy this, we are now modeling our Innovation Award, which we have traditionally presented in December, on the Oscars: For the first time, we have nominated three teams each for the New Products and New Processes categories, and will not decide the first-prize winners in each category until the day we present the award. And it looks like the decision will be as difficult for us as ever this year, since our researchers have submitted so many innovative projects. Page 22 ff. of this issue will give you an idea of their work. The new nomination process is our way of drawing greater attention to the teams finishing second and third, because a win for them is a win for Evonik. We are also clear winners when it comes to DL-Methionine, an amino acid that Patrik Wohlhauser is particularly vital as an additive in poultry feed. Already the world‘s largest pro- Chairman of the Board of Management of ducer, we are planning to expand our position by building a new plant in Singapore. Evonik Degussa GmbH When the committees concerned have given their approval to the construction of the plant, we will have, as early as 2014, a total capacity of 580,000 metric tons of DL-Methionine, on an investment in the mid triple-digit million euro range. This is money well spent, given that the market for methionine has been growing for years. First, consumer behavior is changing worldwide, and meat is appearing more and more on the tables of developing countries. In the prosperous regions, the growing trend toward healthy foods is driving greater consumption of low-fat poul- try instead of pork or beef. Second, the growing world population must be supplied with high-quality and safe food—and this is possible only with highly productive agricultural processes that take account of the scarcity of fertile soil and water. Innovative feed concepts that include our amino acids as additives, instead of protein-rich soy or rapeseed meal, are making a key contribution in this regard—as we have scientifically proven in our life cycle assessment. As a rule of thumb, if the vegetable protein in the feed is reduced by 1 percent, then the nitrogen content in the manure drops by ten percent, the am- monia emissions to the air fall by ten percent, and water consumption is reduced by three percent. And the 580,000 metric tons of methionine that we will be supplying the market beginning in 2014 will save 11.6 million hectares of arable land that can be put to such uses as growing food. A win-win situation for everyone. elements33 Issue 4|2010 04N EWS Dr. Klaus Engel appointed new president of VCI The general meeting of Germany’s vision for a growing world population chemical industry association, VCI, in and the provision of health care for an Dresden on September 24 elected Dr. aging population.

  • GET H2 Nukleus: First Publicly Accessible Hydrogen Network Will Allow Wide-Ranging CO2 Reductions
    PRESS RELEASE GET H2 Nukleus: first publicly accessible hydrogen network will allow wide-ranging CO2 reductions • BP, Evonik, Nowega, OGE and RWE Generation sign a Letter of Intent to develop a hydrogen network from Lingen to Gelsenkirchen. • The planned network, around 130 kilometres in length, will link the production of green hydrogen with industrial customers in Lower Saxony and North Rhine- Westphalia. • The GET H2 Nukleus project is set to become the first hydrogen network in the regulated sector with non-discriminatory access and transparent prices. • The companies aim to be ready to operate the regulated network and an electrolyser in late 2022 in order to make a speedy and important contribution to a low-carbon future. 17 March 2020, Lingen/Gelsenkirchen. Germany’s first publicly accessible hydrogen network is Due to supply increasing quantities of green hydrogen (H2) to industrial companies in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia from late 2022 onwarDs. BP, Evonik, Nowega, OGE and RWE Generation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop the GET H2 Nukleus project. All these companies are members of the GET H2 initiative There are high hopes for green hydrogen in the energy transition. The idea is to convert power from renewable energies into hydrogen and use it as a carbon-free source of energy in inDustry anD other sectors. An expansion of the relevant infrastructure is key to transporting green hydrogen in Germany. The green hydrogen is to be produced from renewable energies in Lingen, in Lower Saxony, in an 100 MW electrolyser owned by RWE Generation. It will then be transported to industrial customers and refineries in Lingen, Marl and Gelsenkirchen – mainly via existing gas pipelines operated by transmission system operators Nowega and OGE and converted for the transportation of 100 percent hydrogen, but also via a partially new construction by Evonik.

  • „Decisive Step Towards a European Hydrogen Economy“
    PRESS RELEASE „Decisive step towards a European hydrogen economy“ 8 July 2020, Bochum/Essen/Münster. The five partners of the hydrogen project GET H2 Nukleus (bp, Evonik, Nowega, OGE, RWE) very much welcome the European Hydrogen Strategy published today. "In conjunction with Germany’s National Hydrogen Strategy, the EU concept is a decisive step towards a European hydrogen economy and thus towards achieving the climate targets," says Bernhard Niemeyer-Pilgrim, Member of the Board of Management of BP Europa SE. With the production of green hydrogen from renewable energies, transport over 130 kilometres of pipelines and acceptance in the industrial sector, the GET H2 Nukleus is one of the pioneering projects for an integrated hydrogen infrastructure. "We are starting in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, in the vicinity of central energy hubs in Europe. This makes the GET H2 Nukleus an ideal first building block of the European hydrogen network", says Roger Miesen, CEO of RWE Generation SE. The German and European hydrogen strategies are important foundations. But: "Now we need a timely implementation of the planned measures of the German and European hydrogen strategies. This is the only way to create the necessary investment security for the companies involved in hydrogen projects," says Thomas Basten, head of Pipelines in Evonik's Technology & Infrastructure Division. The indications from politicians so far have been very positive. The partners of the GET H2 Nukleus have already initiated numerous steps to realize the CO2 savings potential of green hydrogen as early as possible: • Site preparation and technical planning for the 100 MW electrolyser in Lingen are underway.

The first task was successfully completed in late 2018, while the second, which is the future task, commenced in the financial year 2019. The RAG-Stiftung covers the costs of the perpetual obligations of the post-mining era. In line with its articles of association, the foundation also provides funding for a number of other targeted projects in order to help create a liveable environment for tomorrow today.
