Recently, the Nordic Baltic Sea hydrogen Corridor project has made new progress. According to Amber Grid, the six largest gas transmission system operators, Gasgrid Finland, Elering, Conexus Baltic Grid, Amber Grid, GAZ-SYSTEM and ONTRAS, A contract for a feasibility study on a green hydrogen corridor has been signed for the Nordic Baltic Hydrogen Corridor international project. This cooperation marks an important step in promoting green energy transition and regional energy cooperation.

The goal of the Nordic Baltic Hydrogen Corridor project is to create a link between the green energy production regions of Northern Europe and the major consumption centers of Central Europe. This project will not only contribute to the sustainable development of energy, but is also expected to have a positive impact on related ecosystems. Through this corridor, countries will jointly explore and develop hydrogen energy technology and promote the wide application of clean energy.

As early as December 2022, the six gas transmission system operators signed a cooperation agreement to jointly advance the project. Now, with the signing of the feasibility study contract, the implementation of the project will enter the substantive phase. The project is expected to be implemented in 2030, providing strong support for the energy transition in the region.

In November 2023, the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor was granted Project of Common Interest (PCI) status by the European Commission. This honor is an important recognition of the project, and also provides more policy support and financial guarantee for the subsequent development of the project. The Common Interest Project is a project set up by the European Commission to promote the green energy transition in Europe. Projects that achieve this status will be able to receive financial support from the European Union and enjoy more favorable policy treatment.

The feasibility study contract will not only focus on the technical and economic feasibility of the hydrogen corridor, but will also explore the regulations, policies and standards required for the implementation of the project. Through this research, the project partners will lay a solid foundation for the smooth implementation of the hydrogen corridor.

As the global demand for renewable energy continues to grow, the Nordic Baltic Hydrogen Corridor project is an important example of green energy cooperation in the region. The project will help promote cooperation among countries in the field of clean energy and promote sustainable development in the region. At the same time, the successful implementation of the project will also provide useful experience and reference for the global green energy cooperation. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
