A coalition of European energy distributers will work together to develop a new, state-of-the-art blue hydrogen production facility in eastern Slovakia.
Revealed today (Sept 24), the likes of EP Infrastructure, Eustream, NAFTA and RWE will explore the develop of the facility that could support imports of blue hydrogen into western Europe through a pipeline system.Set to be transmitted to Germany through a repurposed Eustream gas pipeline, the hydrogen will support the development of hydrogen in both Germany and Slovakia and boost the economy in Europe.
The companies are creating a joint working group, which will create a roadmap for project implementation and hold dialogues with relevant stakeholders enabling the project implementation, most notably in Ukraine, Czech Republic and Austria in the coming months.
Ulf Kerstin, CCO of RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, said, “We expect a significant need for low-carbon hydrogen imports to Germany in order to meet domestic demand already in 2030.
“To potentially off-take low-carbon hydrogen produced in Slovakia and import it to Germany via repurposed pipeline infrastructure would address this demand and at the same time support establishing the infrastructure required for future imports of green hydrogen from Eastern Europe, including Ukraine.” - link - George Heynes - link - more like this - link
