Equinor aims to send up to 10GW of blue hydrogen through pipes from Norway; plans to finish construction by 2030.
Here’s an article posted in Hydrogen Insight.
According to the article,
- Norway and Germany have announced a groundbreaking plan to construct a hydrogen pipeline between the two countries by 2030.
- The project aims to foster the development of the hydrogen market in Germany and the EU, addressing significant challenges in building value chains and a functional European hydrogen market.
- This initiative reflects a joint commitment to accelerate the establishment of a robust framework for the European hydrogen market, benefiting both producers and recipients.
This pipeline is expected to provide several benefits:
- Decarbonization of industry and power generation: The hydrogen transported through the pipeline can be used to replace fossil fuels in energy-intensive industries like steel and chemicals, as well as in hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plants, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and progressing through decarbonization.
- Strengthening energy security and diversifying supply: The pipeline will diversify Germany’s energy imports and reduce reliance on natural gas from Russia, improving energy security.
- Enabling a cross-border hydrogen economy: The project aims to establish a commercial, industry-driven hydrogen value chain between Norway and Germany, laying the groundwork for a broader European hydrogen market.
