Amber Grid, on behalf of the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor project partners has launched an international tender for a pre-feasibility study. This is another important step in the development of Europe’s hydrogen infrastructure, following the signing of a cooperation agreement between transmission system operators of six European Union countries on the implementation of a cross-border project, the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor, last December.
The European gas transmission system operators Gasgrid Finland (Finand), Elering (Estonia), Conexus Baltic Grid (Latvia), Amber Grid (Lithuania), GAZ-SYSTEM (Poland) and ONTRAS (Germany) are developing a hydrogen supply infrastructure from Finland through Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to Germany – the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor. The aim of the project is to connect the green energy production regions in Northern Europe with the main consumption centres in Central Europe. The project is expected to be completed by 2030.
Based on the recommendations of the Hydrogen Corridor pre-feasibility Study, a decision will be taken on the further development of the project. It is now assessed that the Hydrogen Corridor may well create significant opportunities for the development of energy and related ecosystems. It will stimulate the demand for and development of green electricity, accelerate the development of the hydrogen economy and will therefore contribute to the European climate targets. It also creates the conditions for investment in industrial and technological innovation, reduce the cost of energy transport, create jobs and generate additional revenue for countries.

Gasgrid Finland is actively participating in the international hydrogen infrastructure development projects. The aim of the projects is to enable hydrogen infrastructure throughout the Nordic and Baltic regions. The projects support the REPowerEU target of producing 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen in the EU by 2030.
