The Hydrogen network Netherlands: a vital building block for the energy transition

Hynetwork (a 100% subsidiary of Gasunie) is creating a national hydrogen network in the Netherlands that will link the demand for and supply of CO₂-free hydrogen. Five industrial clusters will be connected to each other, to other countries and to hydrogen storage and import locations. This will primarily be done using existing infrastructure and partly using newly constructed infrastructure.
Hydrogen Network Netherlands is being built in phases. The goal is to have the network fully completed by 2030.

Industry in the Netherlands is responsible for about 25% of national CO₂ emissions, and sustainability can be achieved only to a limited extent through electrification. That means CO₂-free gases are indispensable. By using CO₂-free hydrogen as a raw material and fuel, industry can reduce its emissions and make a major contribution to the energy transition.

The operation of the future hydrogen network is very similar to the natural gas network. Interested in learning how this future network works? Watch the video.
