Dutch Minister for Climate and Energy Policy Rob Jetten has revealed that Gasunie, the energy infrastructure company, will oversee the upcoming hydrogen network in the North Sea. The decision aims to ensure public interests are safeguarded and reassure the market about the availability of infrastructure. Gasunie highlights the necessity of onshore and offshore hydrogen production alongside the growth of offshore wind power after 2030. Hydrogen is emphasized as a reliable option for storing and transmitting energy, especially during periods of low renewable energy generation. The utilization of existing gas pipelines for hydrogen transmission is expected to enhance energy infrastructure efficiency and reduce costs. Gasunie's CEO, Willemien Terpstra, expressed readiness to establish a network in the North Sea, connecting it to the national network and neighboring countries. Gasunie's ongoing efforts to repurpose natural gas pipelines for the Dutch hydrogen network align with the country's goal of linking major industrial regions and neighboring states by 2030.
