“OGE is committed to establishing a pipeline infrastructure to transport hydrogen from production sources to critical exit points of distribution,” said Dr. Thomas Hüwener, OGE’s Chief Technical Officer. “We are proud to play an essential role in enabling fueling station development through our network capabilities and in working towards decarbonizing the economy.”
