Hydrogen Pipeline Milestone
The first major section of the Dutch hydrogen network in Rotterdam has been filled with 32 tonnes of green hydrogen. This marks a significant step in developing the infrastructure that will support the hydrogen market in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and Europe.
Strategic Infrastructure Development
The pipeline, developed by Gasunie subsidiary Hynetwork, connects Rotterdam's port to industrial customers and integrates with the Dutch hydrogen network. The Delta Rhine Corridor will extend this connection to Germany and north-western Europe, supporting industrial decarbonisation and energy security.
Collaborative Efforts
Filling operations were conducted in partnership with Plug Power Inc. The process involved transporting hydrogen from northern Germany to a temporary filling site in the Maasvlakte industrial area near Rotterdam. This collaboration highlights the importance of specialist partners in building efficient and safe hydrogen infrastructure.
