The latest edition of the joint interactive hydrogen infrastructure map, published on Thursday 16 November, shows the status of hydrogen projects planned for 2030, 2040 and 2050 in the European Union.
This joint initiative by several European organisations involved in the energy sector - including the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) - in cooperation with the European Hydrogen Backbone initiative, highlights the progress made in decarbonising the gas market.
This update includes 91 new projects covering various aspects of hydrogen infrastructure, including distribution, transmission, import terminals, storage, demand and production. Around two-thirds of the projects submitted concern hydrogen demand and production.
The map details more than 120 transmission projects, 50 distribution projects, 60 storage projects, 20 terminal and port projects, 20 demand-side projects and 160 hydrogen production projects. These projects demonstrate the major role of infrastructure in the development of the hydrogen economy, avoiding bottlenecks and facilitating large-scale, timely implementation.
The next map update is scheduled for the second quarter of 2024.
