With this 'hydrogenbackbone', Gasunie will create a nationwide network that connects supply and demand for hydrogen within and between industrial clusters, storage locations and neighbouring countries. Approximately 85% of the hydrogen network will be based on retrofittedexisting natural gas pipelines. The formal request to start and develop the hydrogen backbone, combined with the allocation of 750 millions of financial support to enable the necessary pre-investments, requires uniform conditions on a non-discriminatory basis of third-party access. With this in mind, Hynetwork Services, an affiliate of Gasunie and responsible for the development of the hydrogen infrastructure, organises a consultation process on the general terms and conditions for hydrogen transport and connection services, with the intention for these services to meet the market needs.
