The Netherlands is known for having one of the most reliable energy systems in Europe, but the transition towards more renewable energy sources like solar and wind power is posing challenges to the system's predictability and supply security. To address these challenges, there is a growing emphasis on the role of hydrogen in maintaining a stable energy supply. Hydrogen is seen as a crucial energy carrier that can provide flexibility, storage solutions, and act as a bridge between energy generation and consumption. Gasunie, the operator of the gas infrastructure in the Netherlands, is actively working on building a robust hydrogen infrastructure to ensure energy system stability leading up to 2050. Hydrogen's versatility allows it to compensate for fluctuations in renewable energy production and be used directly as a fuel, reducing the need for additional grid investments and contributing to energy supply security. Furthermore, hydrogen is increasingly being integrated into the transport sector, offering opportunities for scaling up renewable energy use in maritime transport and refining. The Dutch government's decision to shift to renewable hydrogen in transport fuels presents a realistic pathway for scaling up hydrogen use. The development of hydrogen infrastructure on land and at sea is crucial for ensuring supply security and meeting climate targets. Gasunie and Hynetwork are spearheading these efforts with the aim of providing a reliable energy system for the future. By reusing existing infrastructure and leveraging proven technologies like electrolysis, the Netherlands aims to build the energy system of tomorrow efficiently and cost-effectively. This strategic infrastructure development not only supports the energy transition but also enables stakeholders to make informed long-term investment decisions towards a sustainable future.
