Building the Future: Vilsteren
"Challenging, complex – and exciting!"
Step by step, we’re creating the hydrogen network that will power the Netherlands for generations to come. Wherever possible, we repurpose existing pipelines, always with the highest standards of safety and care for the environment. Our goal? A reliable energy supply – today and tomorrow.
Inside the Project
This summer, we transformed an existing natural gas pipeline in Vilsteren to carry hydrogen. Project Manager Frank Boelens, Safety Advisor Jur Oolders, Site Supervisor Bart Stiekema, Regional manager Harry Schreur, and Ecology Expert Ank Lubberink share their insights. From technical preparations to engaging landowners and local communities, from ensuring safety to protecting nature – discover how we build the energy infrastructure of the future.
