European Hydrogen Infrastructure Map Update: New Projects and Inclusion of Western Balkan Countries
Key Ideas
  • The updated ENTSOG Hydrogen Infrastructure Map now includes over 100 new projects, demonstrating evolving trends in European hydrogen infrastructure.
  • Approximately 60 new projects related to hydrogen transmission, storage, terminals, and production have been added, reflecting a growing electrolyser network.
  • Projects in countries like Bosnia-Herzegovina, Crete, Tunisia, and Serbia are now featured, outlining a geographical expansion of hydrogen initiatives.
  • Over 600 hydrogen projects have been submitted since the map's launch, with most projects aiming for commissioning before 2030.
The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) unveiled an updated version of the Hydrogen Infrastructure Map, featuring over 100 new projects for the first time from Western Balkan countries. This inclusion highlights the evolving landscape of European hydrogen infrastructure across various sectors. Notably, the map incorporates around 60 projects focused on hydrogen transmission, storage, terminals, and production, aligning with new submissions to ENTSOG’s TYNDP 2024. The growth of the electrolyser network is evident, although off-taker projects remain limited. Many projects on the map are set for commissioning by 2030 or earlier, with newcomers from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Crete, Tunisia, Serbia, and the Baltic region indicating expanding initiatives. Since its inception, over 600 hydrogen projects have been added to the map, showcasing the sector's dynamic nature and future prospects. The map, a collaborative effort by six industry associations, offers insights into hydrogen distribution, transmission, import terminals, storage, demand, and production up to 2050. The data collection process involved project promoters providing detailed information, reflecting a bottom-up approach. This update signifies progress in advancing hydrogen infrastructure within the European Union, responding to the European Commission's directives for sustainable energy transitions.
