FNB Gas unveils plans for Germany’s hydrogen core network, estimating a €20 billion investment by 2032. With a sprawling 9,700 km, the network aims to reshape existing natural gas pipelines, presenting a cost-effective and rapid strategy. Privately financed and backed by German government support, this initiative positions Germany at the forefront of hydrogen infrastructure development.
In a bid to transition to cleaner energy sources, the exploration of hydrogen blending in existing natural gas pipelines has gained momentum. However, recent research from the Argonne National Laboratory reveals a critical hurdle — the increased risk of pipeline leakage associated with hydrogen blending, potentially limiting its viability in current infrastructure.
Algeria has revealed three pivotal projects, with the highlight being the construction of new pipelines dedicated to exporting Algerian green hydrogen to Italy.
Morocco has unveiled ambitious plans to construct a 5,600km hydrogen pipeline that will traverse 11 West African countries.
The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) is more than just a conduit for natural gas—it’s a critical component in Europe’s pursuit of energy security, diversification, and decarbonization. As the TAP Country Representative in Greece, Ioannis Maris, aptly pointed out, this infrastructure project isn’t merely about the present; it’s about envisioning a future where clean energy takes center stage.
The Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park, a flagship project in the country’s hydrogen endeavors, has announced significant progress in the conversion of a natural gas pipeline for hydrogen transportation. This development marks the advent of Germany’s first hydrogen pipeline, scheduled to commence operations in 2024.
The Netherlands has authoritatively started the development of its arranged 1,200 km hydrogen pipeline on Oct. 27, with an initial 30 km segment running in Rotterdam to begin tasks in 2025.
City Energy, the exclusive supplier of piped town gas in Singapore, has joined forces with Malaysia’s Gentari, a clean energy solutions provider under Petronas, to embark on a monumental joint feasibility study. Their shared vision: to construct a hydrogen pipeline stretching from the heart of Malaysia to the bustling streets of Singapore.
TotalEnergies and Air Liquide have embarked on a visionary project that could reshape the energy landscape. This collaboration is set to usher in a new era of sustainability, marked by the long-term supply of green and low carbon hydrogen to the TotalEnergies refining and petrochemical platform in Normandy.
