European Hydrogen Backbone Infrastructure Maps Update September – including latest feasibility estimates and planned hydrogen interconnections.
The European Hydrogen Backbone Initiative developed visionary maps for future hydrogen pipeline infrastructure. Our recent publication from May 2022 included reactions to the REPowerEU publications (Five hydrogen supply corridors).
Since then we have seen an increasing dynamic and acceleration of hydrogen developments in the market.
In order to provide an up-to-date overview of the infrastructure vision, we incorporated several updates into our interactive dynamic maps on our website.
Main changes in this iteration:
- In Spain, by 2030, a more interconnected hydrogen transmission network is expected to develop across the north of the country, alongside the inclusion of the existing LNG terminal in Gijón;
- In Belgium, the 2040 vision was updated to reflect a more paced roll out of pipeline infrastructure;
- In Slovakia, the development of the East-West hydrogen corridor from Ukraine to Czechia has been accelerated from 2040 to 2030; and
- In Hungary, the hydrogen interconnection with Slovakia has also been accelerated from 2040 to 2030, while the interconnection with Austria has been pushed back to 2040.
