GASCADE starts hydrogen pipeline programme

As part of this project of the German hydrogen core network, around 400 km of a previous natural gas pipeline, with a diameter of 1.4 m, will be gradually converted to transport hydrogen by the end of 2025. It will create a substantial part of a north-south highway for hydrogen transportation. The infrastructure is being developed in advance and paves the way for future hydrogen transport. The Flow programme is a clear commitment to a greener future and underlines GASCADE’s role in the energy transition.

“With this conversion, GASCADE is sending a strong signal for the hydrogen economy. We are proud to be starting the commissioning of the first large-scale hydrogen pipelines in Germany. This provides planning certainty for the market ramp-up of the value chain worldwide,” said Christoph von dem Bussche, Managing Director at GASCADE.

“The Flow programme is a central component of GASCADE's strategy of making existing infrastructure available for the transport of hydrogen quickly and cost-effectively. Converting the pipelines creates the basis for a safe and efficient hydrogen supply in Germany,” explained Managing Director Ulrich Benterbusch, GASCADE.
