Interview: National hydrogen network roll-out plan updated
Over the coming years, Gasunie subsidiary Hynetwork will be rolling out the national hydrogen network for the Netherlands in various stages.
The first section will be ready for use in Rotterdam by no later than 2026. In subsequent years, the infrastructure will become available in the industrial clusters along the Dutch coast; this will be completed before or in 2030. This means that the hydrogen network will not be ready in 2030, but by 2033 at the latest. Helmie Botter, Business Development Hydrogen Manager at Gasunie, and Joost Hooghiem, Director of Hydrogen Network Netherlands, explain the current status. ‘The hydrogen market as a whole is not developing as fast as expected, and the infrastructure is unfortunately no exception. We find this delay extremely regrettable and understand that this has an impact on the market. So we remain committed to putting the network in place as soon as possible.’
