The EU will support converting gas infrastructure for hydrogen transportation and storage
EU legislates on hydrogen pipelines and storage
First part of ‘Fit for 55’ package to be legislated provides support for projects retrofitting gas pipelines to carry hydrogen
The EU will legislate to allow natural gas storage assets and pipelines to be converted to transport or store a blend of hydrogen and natural gas. It will also provide financial assistance for such projects up until the end of December 2027. The revisions come as part of updates to the Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) regulation—a part of the EU energy and climate package which provides financial support for cross-border and international energy projects with the goal of integrating different member states’ energy systems. The revised regulation will also provide support for electrolysers of at least 50MW capacity to help develop trans-European hydrogen networks. Hydrogen advocacy
