Hyperlink: Expansion of a hydrogen grid by Gasunie
Gasunie’s Hyperlink project is an initiative to build a comprehensive hydrogen network in northern and western Germany. The aim of the project is to create 983 kilometers of infrastructure connecting key industrial regions and enabling green hydrogen imports from the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway. Around 70 per cent of Hyperlink is based on the conversion of existing natural gas pipelines – a sustainable solution that saves valuable resources and enables faster implementation. By the end of 2025, 190 km of the Gasunie network had already been converted for the future transport of hydrogen in this way.
This hydrogen network will play a central role in the decarbonization of the industry: It will provide low-CO2 hydrogen for various applications in the chemical, steel production and energy supply sectors. Hyperlink also creates connections to hydrogen storage and import sites, which increases security of supply and promotes the integration of renewable energies. By collaborating with international partners, Gasunie is setting new standards for a sustainable energy future in Europe with this project.
