Recap
From vision to mission
Since January 2020, the TSOs have been actively working on the development of the German hydrogen network. Many of the earlier considerations and experiences have been incorporated into the planning and design of the hydrogen core network
Hydrogen Projects
Selected H2 projects of the TSOs
Transmission system operators are working flat out to realize the German hydrogen network. This page provides an overview of selected projects undertaken by our members.
Legal framework
Legal framework for hydrogen transport
The legal framework for hydrogen transportation in Germany is based on the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and a series of ordinances and regulatory requirements.
