Denmark has announced its ambitious plan to invest over $2 billion in a hydrogen pipeline project that will connect the Danish port city of Esbjerg to the German border. The investment includes a loan of 7.4 billion Danish kroner and operating subsidies of up to 8.3 billion kroner. The aim is to have the hydrogen export route operational by 2030, which is earlier than previously predicted. This project is part of a new initiative to create a cross-border hydrogen transmission system between Denmark and Germany. The Danish grid operator, Energinet, is leading the project and will formalize the hydrogen infrastructure application to the energy ministry in spring 2025. While the pipeline to Germany is the primary focus for the first phase, there are also considerations for additional routes to other important Danish energy hubs. The project, which involves collaboration between Energinet and Gasunie, aims to establish a connection for green hydrogen transport from Denmark to Germany by 2028. Despite initial difficulties, the project has seen accelerated development, indicating a positive outlook for the future of hydrogen infrastructure in the region.
