New MoU paves the way for hydrogen supply chain in Central Europe

A recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between FluxSwiss, Transitgas, OGE, Fluxys TENP and Snam. marks a significant step towards enhancing hydrogen supply in Central Europe, particularly in Baden-Württemberg, Germany and northwestern Italy.

The MoU facilitates cooperation among the parties to ensure technical and operational compatibility. This includes assessing necessary modifications to the infrastructure and aligning the timelines for ramp-up of H2 and commissioning.

The partnership aims to create an additional hydrogen supply source by levera31ging the existing transit pipeline infrastructure.

The intended infrastructure will cross the Alps connecting Italy to Germany via Switzerland, facilitating imports from North Africa. The route will enhance access to hydrogen markets, support decarbonization goals and diversification of supply routes.
