European Hydrogen Backbone published a vision about H2 corridor from Sweden and Finland to Germany
Gasgrid Finland together with other European Hydrogen Backbone group members has published five hydrogen supply corridors to meet Europe’s accelerated 2030 hydrogen targets. One of them runs from northern Sweden via Finland and the Baltics to Germany.
“The latest EHB analysis shows that the potential of the region of Finland, Sweden and the Baltic countries, i.e. the supply corridor D, is significant. The potential market size of the region is estimated to be 127 TWh per year already in 2030, which corresponds to about 20% of REPowerEU targets for hydrogen and about 38% of the target of domestic hydrogen produced in EU. Hydrogen economy is therefore a very significant opportunity to the countries around the Baltic Sea with great renewable energy resources, space, and forerunner position in development of sustainable technology solutions”, says Gasgrid Finland’s Sara Kärki, Head of Strategic Analysis & RDI.
The five corridors span across both domestic and import supply markets, consistent with the three import corridors identified by the REPowerEU plan. The published hydrogen supply corridors are:
- Corridor A: North Africa & Southern Europe
- Corridor B: Southwest Europe & North Africa
- Corridor C: North Sea
- Corridor D: Nordic and Baltic regions
- Corridor E: East and South-East Europe
