Visionary hydrogen network
In early 2020, the German transmission system operators (TSOs) presented a vision for an initial Germany-wide hydrogen infrastructure in the form of a network map for the first time. This lists lines with a total length of about 5,900 km. This visionary pipeline system is based to over 90 percent on the existing natural gas network and is being continuously developed. A large part of the future consumption focal points of hydrogen in the industrial, mobility and heat sectors, as well as numerous underground storage facilities, can be connected via the pipeline system to the focal points of occurrence.
