Soil survey underway for Dutch hydrogen and CO2 pipeline network
In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Fugro and Sweco are carrying out soil investigation fieldwork for a pipeline network that will link three industrial areas in the Netherlands and transport hydrogen and directly captured CO2 to designated offshore storage sites.
Commissioned by Gasunie, the Delta Rhine Corridor West (DRC West) infrastructure project will create new pipelines linking industrial areas between Rotterdam, Moerdijk and Boxtel, with the network to transport hydrogen and CO2 offshore for storage, according to the report.
With geotechnical fieldwork underway, Fugro is conducting cone penetration tests, mechanical drilling, and installing monitoring wells to build a detailed understanding of subsurface conditions along the corridor, while Sweco is conducting a range of studies, including assessments of cultural history, landscape, and ecology, it added.
