In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that state-owned transmission system operator (TSO) Gasgrid Finland is advancing plans for hydrogen transmission infrastructure in the Baltic Sea with a framework contract for owner’s engineering services awarded to Switerzland-based StreamTec Solutions. The report noted that the framework contract is awarded for a minimum of four years with options to be extended by an additional four years. Specifically, the contract will focus on two main projects: the Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector (BHC) and the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor (NBHC). The Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector (BHC) project envisions building an offshore hydrogen pipeline infrastructure connecting Finland, Sweden, and Central Europe to enable the production of clean and sustainable hydrogen to meet Europe’s needs. The partners in the BHC project include Gasgrid Finland, Nordion Energi, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. The report also noted that the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor (NBHC) project aims to develop a hydrogen infrastructure from Finland to Germany through Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland by 2030.
