Germany’s RWE has agreed to supply French oil major TotalEnergies with about 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen a year from 2030, in one of the sector’s biggest deals.
The agreement runs until 2044; the biggest amount of carbon-neutral hydrogen ever contracted from a German electrolysis facility.
The deal involves RWE supplying TotalEnergies’ Leuna refinery near Leipzig in eastern Germany, via its 300-megawatt electrolysis plant in Lingen in the west, which is set to start operation in 2027. ‘This shows that with the right incentives hydrogen works for customers,’ RWE CEO Markus Krebber says.
