Hydrogen plays an important role in the energy transition. It enables industry to become more sustainable. Hydrogen can be transported and stored, ensuring that the Netherlands has a reliable energy supply for the future. Safety is at the heart of this process. From design to operation, we make sure hydrogen is transported safely through our network, using strict standards, suitable materials, and continuous monitoring. This is how we build a network that is ready for the future and safe for people and the environment.
