Advancing Hydrogen Infrastructure in the Baltic Sea Region
Key Ideas
  • Gasgrid Finland partners with StreamTec Solutions for hydrogen transmission infrastructure projects in the Baltic Sea.
  • Projects include the Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector and Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor connecting Finland to Central Europe by 2030.
  • The initiatives aim to boost clean hydrogen production, offshore wind utilization, and job creation in the region.
  • Gasgrid and its partners are optimistic about the potential of hydrogen to enhance energy security and stimulate economic growth in Europe.
Gasgrid Finland, the state-owned transmission system operator, has awarded a framework contract to StreamTec Solutions for owner's engineering services in developing hydrogen transmission infrastructure in the Baltic Sea. The contract, spanning a minimum of four years with extensions possible, will focus on two main projects: the Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector (BHC) and the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor (NBHC). The BHC project aims to build an offshore hydrogen pipeline connecting Finland, Sweden, and Central Europe to facilitate clean hydrogen production, leveraging the region's offshore wind potential. This project has gained approval as a Project of Common Interest. The NBHC initiative targets the establishment of a hydrogen infrastructure from Finland to Germany by 2030, involving multiple transmission system operators. This endeavor, which recently concluded its first phase, signals a significant step towards enhancing the hydrogen economy and energy security in the Baltic Sea region and Europe. Gasgrid and its partners are optimistic about the transformative impact of hydrogen in improving energy flexibility, creating new investments, and generating employment opportunities.
