ArcelorMittal Bremen recently announced that the coke oven gas pipeline from Bottrop in Sturmshof to Gelsenkirchen in Nordstern Park in Germany will be renovated over a length of about six kilometers. The pipeline owner Uniper’s Kokereigasnetz Ruhr has commissioned this work after the pipeline was subjected to thermal and physical stress a few kilometers behind the Bottrop coking plant in November 2021. The renovation will make the line fit for future permanent use. Due to its high hydrogen content, coke oven gas contributes as a bridging technology to the products of processing companies in the future CO2-to make neutral. According to Uniper, work on the gas pipeline is progressing well and should be completed in the fourth quarter of this year. Then the line will start working again.During the repair work, the gas will be flared off. For technical reasons, the high flare, which is visible from afar, was initially used for this purpose. This has not been necessary since the end of April, which means that the exposure to light, especially in the evening hours, can be kept to a minimum.The renovated gas pipeline will deliver hydrogen-rich gas as a bridging technology for climate-neutral production to companies in the processing industry. Work on the line should be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022
