Hydrogen projects
One of the ways to achieve the European climate goals is, among other things, the use of hydrogen in the energy, transport, and industrial sectors. NET4GAS actively participates in many international initiatives exploring the possibilities of utilizing new gases, particularly hydrogen. Due to its location in the center of Europe, the Czech Republic can utilize three out of the five main transmission corridors within Europe for hydrogen import. These are the North Africa & Southern Europe corridor, followed by the Scandinavian-Baltic corridor, and last but not least, the corridor from Eastern and Southeastern Europe. An overview of all hydrogen corridors is provided in the EHB study (available for download here).
NET4GAS plays a key role in achieving the goals of the updated Hydrogen Strategy of the Czech Republic. Part of the existing infrastructure operated by NET4GAS can be transformed to hydrogen without the need to build a new transmission network. In this regard, NET4GAS is preparing three hydrogen projects, which represent the so-called “repurposing” of one line of three parallel pipelines on each of the backbone branches.
