Energy infrastructure company Gasunie and Danish transmission systems operator Energinet have signed a memorandum of understanding to connect national hydrogen networks between Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. This agreement runs until the end of 2025 and is, among other things, the prelude to connecting the Danish hydrogen network at Ellund to Hyperlink, the German part of Gasunie’s hydrogen network. This connection will contribute to the cross-border hydrogen chain between Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands, allowing the Netherlands and Denmark to further develop as a hydrogen energy hub thanks to production, import, storage and transport capabilities.

“Hydrogen plays a crucial role in energy transition, for example in industry,” said Hans Coenen, member of the Gasunie Executive Board. “This requires large volumes of hydrogen in northwest Europe. By connecting our joint cross-border infrastructure for production, import, storage, and transport, we contribute to a reliable supply of hydrogen at competitive prices. This is needed and can form the basis of a future European hydrogen market. I look forward to continuing our decades-long cooperation with Energinet for the benefit of the hydrogen market in North-West Europe.”

Gasunie is developing hydrogen infrastructure in the Netherlands and northern Germany over the next years. The construction of the national hydrogen network in the Netherlands started in 2023. In Germany, the Gasunie infrastructure under the name Hyperlink is part of the national hydrogen Kernnetz. Through Hyperlink, a hydrogen network can be created from the Danish-German border to the Dutch-German border, enabling hydrogen to also be transported from Denmark to north-western Europe through Gasunie’s infrastructure.
