He loves the openness of the people PHOTOGRAPHY: J. KROEMER PHOTOGRAPHY: he’s met in this “land of limitless opportuni- ties.“ One of them is Derrick Freeman, Tom Schimmeck a barber he met in Hopewell, Virginia, when at the Evonik plant in Greensboro, he was commissioned by Evonik Magazine North Carolina to report on the Group’s major production locations in Hopewell, Greensboro, and Mobile. After his trip of 2,000 kilometers, Shimmeck concludes: “The USA is a country that’s worth visiting again and again.“ Constanze Sanders is an expert on business topics, from overall economic statistics to goods logistics and the search for raw materials. She worked as a business journalist at Der Spiegel magazine for 15 years. Her office in Hamburg has a harbor view, and she’s particularly interested in maritime issues. That’s why she took on the assignment concerning raw materials from the ocean. She spent several weeks gathering information about the international search for raw Constanze Sanders materials on the ocean floor and tracking down the details in talks with numerous experts in the field. Ideas are the stock in trade of Asli Sevindim, the Artistic Director of RUHR.2010. As a journalist and TV presenter, this lively young woman generates ideas almost nonstop, because she’s always on the move. Our author Catrin Krawinkel, though herself a fitness freak, had to work Catrin hard to keep up with Ms. Sevindim as they traveled through the Ruhr Krawinkel region and explored Essen on foot. Krawinkel reports, somewhat breathlessly, “When you’re traveling with her you realize very quickly what the term ‘superwoman’ is all about.“ Pleasant reading!

  • 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.
