Worley Wins EPCM Contract for Danish Hydrogen Pipeline

Key highlights
  • Worley signed a five-year EPCM contract for Denmark's hydrogen pipeline.
  • The project includes 41 km of new pipeline and conversion of 89 km of existing pipeline.
  • The pipeline will connect green hydrogen production with Germany and Europe.
  • Commissioning is expected by late 2030.

Project Overview

Worley has secured a five-year Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) services contract from Energinet for Phase 1 of the Danish Hydrogen Backbone pipeline. This project is a key component of Denmark's plan to establish a national hydrogen transmission network.

Infrastructure Details

The project involves constructing approximately 41 km of new hydrogen pipeline and converting around 89 km of existing natural gas pipeline. This infrastructure will connect large-scale green hydrogen production from wind and solar sources with Germany and broader European markets.

Strategic Importance

The pipeline aims to enhance regional energy security and accelerate the green transition by linking renewable energy sources with key markets. The initiative is part of Denmark's broader strategy to support a low-carbon future.

Timeline

The commissioning of the Danish Hydrogen Backbone pipeline is anticipated by late 2030, marking a significant milestone in Europe's hydrogen ambitions.
