ENTSOG’s EU-wide, open-source, comprehensive database for Hydrogen Projects intends to provide a comprehensive overview of current hydrogen projects along the whole value chain – from production, via transmission and distribution to end-use. It shows where the first hydrogen valleys could emerge and how they can be connected via retrofitted and repurposed pipelines based on planned and ongoing hydrogen projects collected. The visualisation platform also indicates the growth of hydrogen capacities on production, transmission and distribution and end use.
Users of the platform can filter projects under country, type of project, a project’s maturity and start date. Once the user has found a project of interest, they can instantly learn about it in the summarised project scope or click a link to go in depth on the project website.
The data behind the platform is based on sources publicly available on a best effort basis and based on project status at that time. There are only 2 projects announced on the Island of Ireland (owned by Energia and EIH2), however, given the progress of the hydrogen industry in Ireland we see this number increasing significantly over the coming decade.
