NRL IV pipeline construction project
North Sea Ruhr Link IV from Emden to Rysum
North Sea Ruhr Link IV is a small extension of the North Sea Ruhr Link via Emden to Rysum.
Together with other national gas network operators, OGE has been tasked by the Federal Network Agency and the German government to develop a Germany-wide hydrogen core network. The North Sea Ruhr Link is a central transmission route for hydrogen from the northern coastal regions to the north-west of Germany, connecting the northern import corridor as well as national producers and consumers of hydrogen along the route.
North Sea Ruhr Link IV is part of the North Sea Ruhr Link pipeline. This section will run approximately 22 kilometres from Emden to Rysum.
