Security of supply & infrastructure

The future of energy 
starts now!

2024 will go down in history as a watershed year that saw Germany and Europe open up a new chapter in their energy supply story - after more than 60 years of natural gas. The decision to go ahead with the hydrogen core network has kick-started the transition to climate neutrality in 2045. And OGE will play a central role.OGE will be well prepared for the hydrogen core network in Germany. 
This includes a hydrogen training facility at the company‘s site in Werne which is unique in Europe. Designed as a closed-loop process, it simulates the technical components required for safe and efficient pipeline transmission on a real-life scale.. 

Fit for H2! 

“OGE and hydrogen – we’re fit and ready to go.”

Sören Honsel, Plant Engineer for Green Gases


Secure energy supplies in challenging times

As one of the leading gas transmission system operators in Germany, OGE is making a decisive contribution to a secure energy supply for households, basic social services and industry. At the same time, we are advancing the energy transition.

The essential building block to ensure a stable supply: diversification!

Following the discontinuation of Russian gas supplies, Germany and Europe were faced with the challenge of diversifying their energy supply.

We are investing in security of supply – for today and tomorrow

Given the current geopolitical situation, ensuring security of supply in Germany is a challenging task which we are helping to address as a key player.

We are driving the transition from natural gas to hydrogen

Over the next few years, we will convert existing natural gas pipelines to hydrogen and build new dedicated hydrogen pipelines.

Overcoming challenges together

Joint initiatives and strategic alliances will permanently strengthen the security of the energy supply.

Ensuring lawfulness, strengthening trust

We use a comprehensive compliance system, data protection precautions, certified information security and tried-and-tested security and crisis management to tackle current and future challenges.

The OGE Code of Conduct and its objectives

The Code of Conduct sets out the key principles and rules for lawful and responsible behaviour and creates a framework for dealing with business partners, competitors, public officials and public institutions.

Sensitive data – handled securely. 

“We protect your personal data so we all stay secure.”

Kathrin Kappler, Deputy Data Protection Officer
