New European hydrogen network plan

摘要

A plan to build a dedicated hydrogen pipeline network of almost 23,000 km within nine European countries by 2040 has been released by 11 European gas infrastructure companies, reports Keith Nuthall. Enagas, Energinet, Fluxys Belgium, Gasunie, GRTgaz, NET4GAS, OGE, ONTRAS, Snam, Swedegas (Nordion Energi), Terega and the consultancy Guidehouse have called their proposed network a 'European hydrogen backbone'. It would serve Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland, with links to neighbouring European states (including the UK) and to North Africa.
