German start-up Turn2X has completed what it claims is Europe’s first cross-border delivery of green hydrogen-based renewable natural gas (RNG), transporting it from Spain to a German glassmaker via the EU gas grid.
Turn2X produced the RNG – made from green hydrogen and biogenic CO₂ – at its Miajadas plant in Spain.
The gas was injected into the existing natural gas grid and transported under the EU’s mass balance system to Boffzen-based glassmaker Noelle + von Campe.
The system allows for tracking and trading of renewable and low-carbon gases through existing gas infrastructure – even when the renewable gas is physically indistinguishable from fossil gas after the injection.
In this case, Noelle + von Campe can claim the use of the RNG, despite withdrawing physically mixed gases because the volumes match and are certified under the rules.
It is a similar mechanism to a renewable power PPA – where the buyer is financially supporting renewable energy production and claiming its use, even though the energy source is blended into shared infrastructure.
In a LinkedIn statement, Turn2X said it represents the “first-ever mass-balanced transport of renewable natural gas (RNG) across Europe.”
