The Finnish government has issued a tender titled “Engineering Consultant Services for Hydrogen Transmission Network (Trunkline) Investments,” inviting qualified firms to submit proposals.
The tender was published on December 23, 2024, with a submission deadline of January 16, 2025. This initiative is crucial for advancing Finland’s hydrogen industry, aiming to establish an efficient transmission network essential for industrial-scale hydrogen utilization.
The main goal of this tender is to procure engineering design services necessary to develop a robust hydrogen transmission network across Finland. This network, often referred to as a “trunkline,” will facilitate the transport of hydrogen from production sites to various demand centers, including industrial users and potential export facilities. The project seeks to lay the groundwork for a clean energy infrastructure that can handle large volumes of hydrogen, aligning with global efforts to transition to more sustainable energy sources.
The tender requires interested engineering consultancy firms to provide comprehensive expertise in pipeline design, route surveys, environmental assessments, and the integration of hydrogen-specific safety and operational standards. Consultants are also expected to offer strategic insights on network scalability and adaptation to future technological advancements in hydrogen production and utilization.
