H2 Pipeline Vlieghuis-Ochtrup

Thyssengas is constructing a cross-border hydrogen pipeline between Vlieghuis in the Netherlands and Ochtrup in the Steinfurt district of North Rhine-Westphalia, which is scheduled for completion in 2027. For this project, an existing natural gas pipeline with a length of approximately 53 kilometers will be converted for hydrogen transport. The pipeline will connect the emerging Germany-wide hydrogen network with the Dutch import ports of Amsterdam, Eemshaven, and Rotterdam, as well as the province of Zeeland with its storage facilities and planned production plants.

The pipeline project is being carried out by Thyssengas as a transmission system operator and is part of the GetH2 consortium, which is jointly developing the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany.

The Vlieghuis-Ochtrup hydrogen pipeline is scheduled to go into operation at the end of 2027. The border crossing point forms a central hub for cross-border hydrogen transport between Germany and the Netherlands.
