Cross-border infrastructure to benefit EU hydrogen economy
Pipelines enable coordinated European approach, matching supply more efficiently with demand, says study
Developing continent-wide hydrogen transport infrastructure would allow Europe to extract the most economic benefit from hydrogen, according to a study carried out by the European Commission. The study modelled three scenarios with differing levels of cross-border capacity deployment by 2030. When cross-border infrastructure is available, hydrogen can be used in a cost-optimal manner because supply can be matched more efficiently with demand, it found. “By 2030, cross-border integration facilitates regional cooperation and contributes to a substantial reduction in hydrogen production cost by reallocating renewable electricity and hydrogen production to the most favourable sites,” says the re
