The energy system in the Netherlands is undergoing rapid changes with the increasing use of solar and wind energy, leading to a less predictable supply. This shift poses challenges to supply security, with the likelihood of power outages expected to rise after 2030. To address these challenges, a transition towards more flexible energy systems is necessary. Hydrogen emerges as a crucial energy carrier that can bridge the gap between energy generation and consumption. Gasunie is proactively developing a robust hydrogen infrastructure to ensure system stability up to 2050. Hydrogen enables the storage and transport of excess renewable energy, reducing waste and enhancing system flexibility. It can also be directly used as a fuel, supporting the reliability of the energy supply and facilitating the transition to cleaner energy sources. Additionally, hydrogen is seen as a key player in the transport sector, offering opportunities in maritime transport and refining. The development of necessary infrastructure is vital to support the increasing role of hydrogen in the energy system and meet ambitious climate targets. Reusing existing infrastructure, such as repurposed offshore pipelines, enables more efficient and cost-effective project implementation. Overall, hydrogen is positioned as a fundamental element in ensuring energy supply security and driving the transition towards a more sustainable energy future in the Netherlands.
