In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that BMW Group Plant Leipzig is planning a hydrogen pipeline link – paving the way for it to become the first car plant in the world to receive hydrogen via a pipeline.
Contracts have now been signed with MITNETZ GAS GmbH and ONTRAS Gastransport GmbH., according to the report.
The approx. 2-kilometer-long link will be constructed by MITNETZ GAS and incorporate a gas pressure and measurement system, eventually connecting the plant to the future core hydrogen network. BMW and ONTRAS are in the process of agreeing the appropriate connection to the hydrogen grid. The link is expected to start delivering hydrogen to the plant in mid-2027, the report added.
