The DVGW

Your network of excellence in the gas and water industry

The DVGW supports the gas and water industry in all technical and scientific areas. The main focus of the Association’s work is on safety and hygiene as well as environmental and consumer protection. The DVGW elaborates technical rules designed to promote the technical self-management of the German gas and water industry, thus ensuring the safe and secure supply of gas and water according to the highest international standards. The Association, which was founded in 1859, currently has approximately 14,000 members. The DVGW is free from economic and political influences.

Announcement from 10/08/2023

Together with 29 project partners and associated partners, the DVGW Research Centre at Engler-Bunte Institute of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is working for 18 months on the sustainable and long-term use of LNG terminals as logistical hubs for hydrogen and its derivatives.  
The H2 transport vectors being analysed are liquid hydrogen, ammonia, LOHC, methanol, synthetic methane (SNG) and dimethyether (DME).
The DVGW research centre will participate in the project coordination together with cruh21.

Our focus as DVGW research centre in the LNG2Hydrogen project is:

  • To expand and deepen the existing process engineering analyses for the import of green hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives  
  • Development of a standardised catalogue of criteria and, based on this, a neutral and objective assessment of the H2 readiness of all H2 transport vectors considered in the joint project, with a special focus on SNG and methanol
  • The techno-economic evaluation of various H2 supply options and further utilisation scenarios for the LNG terminals

We look forward to the cooperation and the valuable impulses from the project!
