Petrogas Transportation and Gasunie have announced a collaboration to investigate the potential of repurposing a gas pipeline in the Dutch North Sea for green hydrogen transport. This initiative is part of Demo 1, an offshore hydrogen demonstration project supported by the Netherlands’ Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth. The project aims to establish a 20-50 megawatt electrolysis plant in the North Sea and link it to the North Sea Canal Area. Gasunie's strategy involves converting offshore wind energy into hydrogen on-site and then using existing offshore pipelines to transport it ashore. The company highlights the advantages of producing hydrogen at sea, such as reducing the reliance on land-based cables and electrolysers. Gasunie also emphasizes the cost-efficiency of hydrogen transport via pipelines and the positive impact on energy infrastructure costs. Additionally, the study will explore the legal, economic, and environmental aspects of repurposing North Sea gas infrastructure for hydrogen transport. Meanwhile, Petrogas will focus on evaluating options to convert its offshore pipeline for green hydrogen. The growing interest in hydrogen as an alternative fuel is evident, especially in the offshore industry, with the Energy Transitions Committee predicting a significant increase in hydrogen demand by 2050.
