Een veilig ontwerp van het waterstofnetwerk start met het in kaart brengen van risico’s. In vaktermen: Hazard Identification (HAZID).

Spanish energy company Iberdrola wants to export green ammonia to the Netherlands and supply it to its European customers as hydrogen through Gasunie's national hydrogen network. To establish this green hydrogen chain from Spain to the Netherlands, the Spanish energy company signed letters of intent with Dutch Gasunie’s subsidiary Hynetwork Services and ACE Terminal. In doing so, Iberdrola will export green ammonia to the Netherlands through the planned ACE import terminal at the Port of Rotterdam and transport it as green hydrogen via the Dutch national hydrogen network of Hynetwork Services to European customers.

Dutch Gasunie subsidiary Hynetwork and its Belgian counterpart Fluxys hydrogen have signed a joint development agreement (JDA) for a cross-border hydrogen connection between the Netherlands and Belgium. Where possible, this connection will be developed using existing natural gas pipelines that have been repurposed for hydrogen transmission. The two companies aim to complete this connection by around 2030.

Gasunie in the Netherlands and Thyssengas H2 and Gasunie Deutschland in Germany want to develop a cross-border hydrogen transport infrastructure between the Netherlands and Germany. This week, they signed an agreement for the joint realisation of this infrastructure. The connection will largely consist of existing natural gas pipelines.

Yesterday, Dutch Minister for Climate and Energy Rob Jetten announced new plans for the construction of a national transport network for hydrogen. Gasunie will develop the hydrogen network in the Netherlands in the coming years, after which it will assume the role of TSO (Transmission System Operator). Gasunie will also play an important role in the storage and import of hydrogen. Due to the expected growth in offshore hydrogen production in the North Sea, Minister Jetten will investigate whether Gasunie can also fulfill the role of grid operator at sea. These new plans are a major step in the development of a more sustainable energy system in the Netherlands.

Dow Benelux, Yara and ICL-IP intend to share hydrogen for industrial purposes through Gasunie Transport Services’ national gas transport network. Underground transport through the gas network is a sustainable, efficient and safe way of transporting hydrogen. Henk Kamp, Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs, signed the Green Deal on Hydrogen for the region with the stakeholders today to endorse their intention.

We are working with Hanab Pipelines & Industry to lay the first section of the Dutch hydrogen network in the area around the Port of Rotterdam. To cross under Dintelhaven, the hydrogen pipeline was tunnelled under the water using HDD arc drilling.

Guido Custers is stepping down as project director of the Hydrogen Network Netherlands from 1 December. He will hand over his duties to Joost Hooghiem, who has been involved in the project since August this year.

The North Sea Canal Area (NSCA) cluster is one of the largest industrial clusters in the Netherlands. Together with Schiphol and the Port of Amsterdam, the NSCA is a critical area for logistics and industry.

Rotterdam is already one of the most important energy ports in Europe. Hynetwork has laid a new hydrogen pipeline in this area to help the Port of Rotterdam establish and maintain its position as Europe’s leading green energy port. That is good for employment and our climate.

On 19 December 2025, a notice was published in ‘de Staatscourant’ regarding the conditions for accession to the hydrogen transport network. This publication includes:
