Gasgrid, the Finnish gas Transmission System Operator (TSO), has announced its selection of StreamTec Solutions as the owners engineering partner to assist in the development of hydrogen transmission infrastructure projects in the Baltic Sea region. The primary objective of these projects is to reinforce energy self-sufficiency and promote investments in the hydrogen economy within Finland. StreamTec Solutions has been awarded a framework contract for a minimum of four years, with possibilities for extension by an additional four years. This collaboration will primarily focus on two significant projects: the Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector (BHC) and the Nordic Baltic Hydrogen Corridor (NBHC). The BHC project is exploring the construction of an extensive offshore hydrogen pipeline infrastructure connecting Finland, Sweden, and Central Europe to facilitate the production of clean and sustainable hydrogen to meet the energy demands of Europe. On the other hand, the NBHC project aims to establish a hydrogen infrastructure from Finland to Germany, passing through Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland by the year 2030. Esa Hallivuori, Senior Vice President of Infrastructure Projects at Gasgrid, expressed optimism about the potential benefits of the hydrogen economy in enhancing security of supply and safety in the Baltic Sea and Europe as a whole, introducing flexibility to the energy system, and generating new investments and employment opportunities. Georg Nowack, Project Manager from StreamTec Solutions, also conveyed excitement about supporting Gasgrid in these ambitious infrastructure projects, emphasizing their expertise in delivering innovative projects related to hydrogen and offshore construction.
