Evonik Magazine 3/2007 Evonik Magazine 3 Magazine Evonik Evonik Magazine 3|2007 | 2007 Evonik — Fit for the Global Market E_01_Titel_Evonik_NEU 1 13.09.2007 15:33:44 Uhr EVONIK MAGAZINE 3/2007 EDITORIAL 3 PHOTOGRAPHY: CHRISTIAN SCHLÜTER PHOTOGRAPHY: Implementing the worldwide presentation of the new brand Evonik Industries AG: Markus Langer and Inken Ostermann Dear readers, Evonik Industries AG, the new industrial group from Germany, has gotten off to a successful start and is already part of the German business landscape. The public response to the group’s new name, new color, and new logo has been very positive. The financial newspaper Handelsblatt praised the group’s “talent for reinventing itself” and concluded that “A star is born in Essen.” Die Welt made a short and snappy analysis: “It’s got potential.” The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung called Chairman Dr. Werner Müller a “combative strategist,” and the mass daily Bild reported that he had won the day. Today we’d like to present you with the first issue of Evonik Magazine, in the corporate color Deep Purple and a new layout. On the following pages we’ll tell you a bit about the new industrial group: the story of its transformation and the strengths of its three Business Areas: Chemicals, Energy, and Real Estate. You’ll also be able to get a glimpse behind the scenes at the people who designed and staged the new brand, as well as enjoying a column by the marketing professor Klaus Brandmeyer, who explains how important a new com- pany’s public image is to the process of generating brand awareness. The presentation of the new industrial group began with a spectacular advertising campaign featuring the question “Who would do that?” and the answer “We do.” A great deal of hard work and creativity went into that simple exchange, as you’ll find out on the following pages. Many people are making sure the new brand is well known on the world market and packs an emotional punch — particularly the new head of Corporate Marketing, Markus Langer, and the Public Relations Manager and Editor in Chief of our magazine, Inken Ostermann. The Chairman of the Management Board of Evonik, Dr. Werner Müller, regards the new name as merely the starting signal for the powerful launch of the Group and its glob- ally operating Business Areas. As he points out in an interview with the journalist Manfred Bissinger, “Ultimately, we’ll be making a name for ourselves through what we do. If our operations are good, it will be a good name; if they are bad, the new name won’t help us much.” (page 18). The powerhouse from the Ruhr region will do everything possible to quickly make the new name a synonym for success, inno vative ideas, creative solutions, and straight- forward operations. Evonik Magazine will keep you updated. Pleasant reading! Evonik does!

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.
