H2med Initiative Bridges Europe through Hydrogen Networks: Insights from CFI
Key Ideas
  • Nearly 170 companies responded to the Call for Interest, showing strong interest in hydrogen infrastructure for European decarbonisation and reindustrialisation.
  • Spain and Portugal demonstrate significant export potential, with Spain's production expected to reach 4.6 Mt by 2035.
  • France anticipates high hydrogen consumption by 2050, driven by industries like chemicals and e-fuels, enhancing competitiveness.
  • Germany expects to consume 17-21 Mt/year by 2040, with H2med playing a crucial role in meeting this demand and supporting the decarbonised economy.
The H2med promoters initiated a Call for Interest to link hydrogen networks from the Iberian Peninsula to North-Western Europe. The results highlighted strong interest with 170 companies and 500 projects, aligning with EU decarbonisation goals. Spain and Portugal foresee substantial hydrogen export potential, while France anticipates increased consumption by 2050. Germany expects significant hydrogen consumption by 2040, with the H2med corridor playing a vital role. The H2med Alliance aims to sustain support for the initiative. Challenges include aligning market package transposition timelines and fostering industrial commitments. Enagás and NaTran are key players committed to energy transition and carbon neutrality, contributing to the development of hydrogen infrastructure.
