The project at a glance

Laying pipelines for hydrogen and carbon dioxide (CO₂) in a single corridor will help heavy industry in the Netherlands and Germany become more sustainable and will cut carbon emissions considerably. Furthermore, the DRC strengthens the strategic and economic position of the industrial areas in north-western Europe, in particular in the Netherlands and Germany, and the project will create a key connection between the Netherlands and Germany.

Part of the Delta Rhine Corridor is a hydrogen pipeline that will be constructed between Rotterdam and Boxtel, where it will connect to Hydrogen network Eastern Netherlands, which also creates a connection to Germany and Limburg. This pipeline is a key west-east connection that will make the hydrogen network an end-to-end, integrated network.

Hynetwork is responsible for laying the hydrogen pipeline. Gasunie is working on the construction of a CO₂ pipeline for the Dutch part of the Delta Rhine Corridor. Gasunie is constructing the pipeline in the Netherlands, while OGE is developing the infrastructure in Germany.
