The CEOs of Energinet Systemansvar and Gasunie Deutschland have signed an agreement to speed up the preparations for cross-border hydrogen infrastructure between Denmark and Germany.
The preparatory activities outlined in the agreement include a coordinated approach to grid development based on the results of a pre-feasibility study carried out between the companies in 2021, and the latest market developments in both supply and demand. The pre-feasibility study showed that Denmark could potentially supply 10 percent to 25 percent of the future German hydrogen demand.
Energinet now has initiated a feasibility study that examines the possibility of a “hydrogen backbone” in the western part of Denmark, including infrastructure for export to Germany.
“Hydrogen infrastructure enables us to fully exploit and export some of the huge renewable energy sources in Denmark and deliver on the Esbjerg agreement,” said Søren Dupont Kristensen, CEO of Energinet Systema
