The port authority Groningen Seaports in the Netherlands has secured a European subsidy exceeding €4.4 million for the establishment of a hydrogen pipeline connecting the ports of Eemshaven and Delfzijl. This funding, sourced from the Just Transition Fund (JTF) as part of the European Green Deal, signifies a pivotal push towards achieving a Climate Neutral Europe. The project, known as the 'Kickstart pipeline,' is crafted by the NorthGrid Foundation and is designed to swiftly lay a low-pressure, high-purity hydrogen pipeline using innovative techniques. The Kickstart pipeline is a critical infrastructure asset for companies in Eemshaven and Delfzijl, thereby fostering the growth of sustainable industry in the region. With an overall investment of €15 million for its construction and development, this initiative aligns with the broader goals of transitioning to green energy sources in the Northern Netherlands. The JTF, supported by various regional entities and public-private collaborations, plays a key role in funding such projects aiming for a climate-neutral future. By 2027, a substantial amount of €330 million is earmarked to facilitate the transition in the Northern Netherlands. The concerted efforts of provinces, municipalities, and other stakeholders emphasize a shared commitment towards sustainable industry growth and infrastructure development. The successful partnership and funding mechanisms indicate a positive trajectory for hydrogen infrastructure and sustainable energy practices in the region.
