H2 infrastructure

The transport and distribution of large amounts of energy to end user require a functioning and robust infrastructure. While the conversion of existing natural gas pipelines offers great potential for cost-efficient transport of hydrogen, other alternative transport vectors are also conceivable, depending on distance, quantity and area of application. These include the construction of dedicated H2 pipelines as well as ship, truck and train transport of compressed or liquefied hydrogen and organic carrier media.

The variety of options with their different advantages and disadvantages is a great challenge for respective stakeholders., We are happy to support you in your decision with detailed cost and technology comparisons.

Gas infrastructure development in the Baltic Energy Market

In this study, LBST, together with Trinomics and Artelys, examined the future use of renewable and low-carbon gases in the Baltic Sea Region. The analyses cover, among others, the status quo as well as the projected development up to 2050 for hydrogen and biomethane.

Investment needs of European energy infrastructure

For the EU Commission (DG ENER), LBST, in partnership with Trinomics and Artelys, has identified the investment needs for a fully decarbonized energy system in Europe. Major investments in H2 pipeline infrastructure are needed especially by 2030, in addition to the expansion of transmission grids.
