Gas companies present the Central European Hydrogen Corridor
Four leading Central European gas infrastructure companies have joined forces to develop a hydrogen highway through Central Europe. The focus of the joint initiative called the Central European Hydrogen Corridor is on developing a hydrogen “highway” in Central Europe for the transport of hydrogen from promising future major hydrogen supply areas in Ukraine that offers excellent conditions for large-scale, green hydrogen production via Slovakia and the Czech Republic to large hydrogen demand areas in Germany and the EU. The hydrogen corridor will also enable transporting hydrogen between hydrogen production facilities and hydrogen consumers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
EUSTREAM has joined the international partnership "H2EU+Store" for the production and supply of green hydrogen
Slovak TSO EUSTREAM has joined the international industry partnership for the production and supply of green hydrogen "H2EU+Store". Hydrogen from sun and wind will be produced in Ukraine, transported via EUSTREAM’s network to Austria and Germany and stored for seasonal demand in Central Europe in the future.
EUSTREAM technologically ready to transport hydrogen from 2023
The Slovak gas transmission system operator EUSTREAM prepares its network for transporting renewable and low-carbon gases. The company plans adjustments that will make its network technologically ready for blending up to 5 percent of hydrogen into the transported natural gas, as early as at the end of 2023. With the current volumes of natural gas transmission, Slovakia will be soon technologically ready to transport theoretically more than 2 bcm of hydrogen per year and thus to accommodate expected gradual increase in hydrogen supply/demand.
„Golden Weld“ on Gas Interconnetor Poland – Slovakia
On 3rd of August 2021 GAZ-SYSTEM and EUSTREAM met at the Poland-Slovakia border to witness the symbolic ‘’golden weld’’ - the technological connection of both ends of the pipeline. For the first time in history, the Polish and Slovak transmission systems have become directly interconnected!
