Six more gas network operators have joined the European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB)—an industry initiative designed to drive the development of a hydrogen pipeline and storage system across the continent. The project—which is promoting the use of both existing and new pipelines for hydrogen— now has backing from 29 infrastructure operators across 27 countries. The new members are Amber Grid (Lithuania), Bulgartransgaz (Bulgaria), Conexus Baltic Grid (Latvia), Gassco (Norway), Plinacro (Croatia), and REN (Portugal). The EHB has put the cost of developing a Europe-wide hydrogen network by 2040 at €43-81bn ($49-92bn), with repurposed gas lines accounting for 69pc of the capacity. €43bn – Lowe
