Hydrogen in Germany

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 core network

To ensure a swift ramp-up of the hydrogen market, legislators have commissioned the transmission system operators to develop a Germany-wide H2 core network that is efficient, can be implemented quickly and be expanded. The aim is to connect the main hydrogen production sites and import points with the hydrogen consumption centres and storage facilities. The GASCADE projects Flow – making hydrogen happen and AquaDuctus, which are both part of the core network, are making a major contribution to creating these connections. In addition, GASCADE is also involved in the hydrogen core network with other new development projects that are of vital importance primarily for the east-west connection within Germany and for connecting potential H2 terminals. 

In October 2024, the Federal Network Agency approved the hydrogen core network.

Grid connection to the hydrogen core network

Are you a hydrogen producer or would you like to obtain hydrogen for your company or project)?

For a planned connection to the hydrogen core network, a network connection request must be submitted. Send us a short description of your entry or exit project with the relevant parameters of the desired grid connection using these term sheets by email to H2-NetzanschlussSpam Protect@gascade.de. The possibility of implementation will be checked by GASCADE and the result will be communicated to you. If you agree, we will work with you to draw up the necessary contracts (installation contract and grid connection/grid coupling contract, etc.). You can find sample contracts in our General Terms and Conditions of Network Connection-H2.
