BarMar: Accelerating the European H2med Hydrogen Corridor
Key Ideas
  • Enagás, NaTran, and Teréga form a joint venture to advance the BarMar renewable hydrogen pipeline connecting Spain and France, part of the EU's H2med project.
  • The shareholding reflects a 50-50 balance between Spain and France, aiming to cover 10% of Europe's hydrogen consumption by 2030.
  • The project receives European support and funding, highlighting the commitment to decarbonize industries and achieve energy sovereignty.
  • The H2Med corridor aims to supply Europe with affordable, renewable hydrogen by 2030, connecting networks from the Iberian Peninsula to North-West Europe.
Transmission system operators Enagás (Spain), NaTran, and Teréga (France) have formed a joint venture to develop the BarMar renewable hydrogen pipeline connecting Barcelona, Spain, and Marseille, France, as part of the European H2med project. This initiative, following a joint development agreement signed in June 2024, accelerates the implementation of the EU's first clean hydrogen corridor. The shareholding structure reflects a 50% ownership by Enagás, 33.3% by NaTran, and 16.7% by Teréga, representing the balance between Spain and France. The project aims to cover 10% of Europe's hydrogen consumption by 2030. The CEOs of the involved companies expressed their commitment to deliver vital energy infrastructure for Europe and highlighted the focus on decarbonizing industries and regions. The H2Med project aims to interconnect hydrogen networks across Europe by 2030, providing affordable renewable hydrogen. Recent European support and grant agreements emphasize the importance of this initiative in achieving carbon neutrality and energy sovereignty. Overall, the BarMar project signifies a significant step towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for Europe.
