The Nordic Hydrogen Route is an initiative between Gasgrid and Nordion Energi to accelerate the creation of a hydrogen economy by building up cross-border hydrogen infrastructure in Bothnian Bay region and an open hydrogen market in early 2030s. The aim of the Nordic Hydrogen Route is to drive decarbonization, support regional green industrialization, economic development, and European energy independence. The companies seek to develop a network of pipelines that would effectively transport energy from producers to consumers to ensure they have access to an open, reliable, and safe hydrogen market.
Project
Nordic Hydrogen Route will drive decarbonization, support regional economic development and enable an independent energy future for Europe.
