New collaborative project for offshore hydrogen infrastructure in the Baltic Sea region

Nordion Energi is involved in a new collaborative project, Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector (BHC), together with Gasgrid Finland, OX2 and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.

This project aims to investigate the possibility of developing a new large-scale offshore infrastructure for the collection and distribution of green hydrogen around the Baltic Sea region, between Finland, Sweden, Åland, Denmark and Central Europe. The objective is to strengthen self-sufficiency in energy and guarantee access to an open, reliable and secure hydrogen market.

The aim of the project is to create a market for hydrogen and link supply and demand in the Gulf of Bothnia and the Baltic Sea with Central Europe. The new pipeline will also connect other islands in the region, such as Gotland in Sweden and Bornholm in Denmark.

Hydrogen has a major role to play in managing the transition of the industrial and transport sectors. There is tremendous potential for hydrogen production are the Baltic Sea region, and very favourable conditions for both onshore and offshore wind power. With investments in infrastructure, renewable energy and hydrogen production, up to 55% of the goal for clean hydrogen, as defined in the REPowerEU Plan, can be produced in the region.
