Europe’s cross-border hydrogen network gets a leg up with Dutch and Belgian infrastructure link
Hynetwork, a subsidiary of the Netherlands-based Gasunie, and its Belgian counterpart Fluxys have embarked on a quest for a cross-border hydrogen connection, enabling the Netherlands and Belgium to plug into shared lower-emission power.
With the aim of interconnecting the Dutch and Belgian hydrogen infrastructure, Gasunie and Fluxys have signed a joint development agreement (JDA). This cross-border hydrogen connection between the Netherlands and Belgium will be developed, where possible, using existing natural gas pipelines repurposed for hydrogen transmission.
The two players aim to complete this connection by around 2030. The border point near Zandvliet, between the Dutch province of Zeeland and the Belgian province of Antwerp, is being considered as the first strategic bidirectional node connecting key import and production sites to industrial clusters, including the North Sea Port and the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands and the ports of Antwerp and Ghent in Belgium.
