Energy transition
with hydrogen

A hydrogen network
for the energy supply of the future

Hydrogen produced on a climate-neutral basis is a central part of the energy transition and future supply security. That is why we are pressing rapidly ahead with expanding the infrastructure: As early as 2025, we want to transport large quantities of hydrogen from its production sites to the consumer centres in Germany and to our European neighbours.

Together with our partners, we are working intensively on the hydrogen market ramp-up. We are contributing our expertise in developing and expanding the hydrogen core network. At the same time, we are applying our know-how and experience to the technical challenges posed by the transformation of the natural gas network into a transport infrastructure for hydrogen.

Projects

With the program Flow – making hydrogen happen, and the projects AquaDuctus, Interconnector Bornholm–Lubmin, and UK-Germany Hydrogen Interconnector, GASCADE is driving forward the expansion of a high-performance hydrogen infrastructure in Germany and Europe. Our goal: An efficient, cross-border hydrogen transport system that intelligently connects energy production, industry, and climate protection.

Hydrogen in Germany
in Deutschland

The hydrogen core network links production sites, import routes and consumption centres, thus laying the foundation for the market ramp-up of hydrogen in Germany. GASCADE plays a significant role in the realisation of the hydrogen core network. A grid connection to our pipeline network gives producers and consumers access to the national hydrogen infrastructure.

Hydrogen
in Europe

Initiatives such as the European Hydrogen Backbone are driving forward the establishment of a cross-border European hydrogen network and strengthening cooperation for a sustainable energy future. The European Network of Network Operators for Hydrogen (ENNOH) promotes the establishment of a functioning hydrogen market and coordinates the development of a European hydrogen transport network.

Studies

Studies on potential, infrastructure, and market development provide scientific findings and scenarios that support the further development of the hydrogen market and offer a sound basis for decision-making.
