Under the terms of the agreement, VNG along with Uniper will build a 30 MW electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen which will then be supplied to Total’s Leuna refinery in Germany. The move is expected to reduce the site's annual CO2 emissions by up to 80,000 tons by 2030.

Paris/France – Total Energies and VNG, a German natural gas distribution company, have signed an agreement to initiate the future supply of green hydrogen to the Leuna refinery operated by Total Energies. Under the agreement, green hydrogen will be produced from renewable electricity with a 30 MW electrolyzer in Bad Lauchstädt, built and operated by VNG with its partner Uniper.

This agreement contributes to the decarbonization of the Leuna refinery and will reduce the site's annual CO2 emissions by up to 80,000 tons by 2030.

Furthermore, the pipeline connection to the Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park will give the Leuna refinery access to the future European hydrogen infrastructure and the international markets for green hydrogen.

"This project is fully in line with Total Energies' ambition to decarbonize all hydrogen used in its European refineries by 2030. Our ambition is to replace the gray hydrogen with low carbon hydrogen, representing a reduction of 3 million tons of CO2 per year by 2030,"said Jean-Marc Durand, Senior Vice President, Total Energies Refining Base Chemicals Europe.
