Hydrogen Network Netherlands is not a temporary installation. Once the pipelines are in place, they will stay there for a long time. That is why the local environment is very important to us. After all, we are well aware that we are guests on and in someone else’s land. We want to enjoy a friendly relationship with you and your neighbours in the area where we want to lay the hydrogen network. We also think it is important that you be able to share your ideas at the various steps in the Project Procedure.

During the webinar on the 22nd of April 2022, we invited you all to ask questions. We received over one hundred questions and we would like to thank everyone for submitting their questions. We have reviewed all questions and categorized the questions and answers as follows for your convenience.

Hydrogen Network North Sea Canal Area has reached an important milestone: the completion of the detailed design for the new hydrogen pipeline and the conversion of the natural gas pipeline. This is a significant step in the journey from idea to implementation. We spoke with Herbert Stoffers, lead engineer at Hynetwork, and Peter Kreuk, technical project manager at REARC*. Together, they discuss the intensive design process, clever choices of construction techniques, and the challenges of working in a busy area (partly underground).

The Delta Rhine Corridor is a cluster of underground pipelines and cables, which is currently under development in the stretch of pipeline running from Rotterdam via Moerdijk to the Dutch province of Limburg and further on to Germany.

In recent months, we have made significant progress in further developing the route for the hydrogen pipeline in the southwest of the Netherlands. Rens Wilbers is involved in this effort as regional manager and a liaison between the project and the local community. We spoke to him about how the hydrogen network in the southwest of the Netherlands is progressing. What steps have been taken to further develop the route? What challenges must be overcome? And what is the schedule for the next step in the project procedure?
