Energy of the future
Hydrogen Demand Survey
As an energy transmission system operator, we give a high priority to energies of the future. We are currently in the process of preparing our MEGAL pipeline system for the transport of hydrogen. In order to be able to realise a transport of CO2-neutral hydrogen from the Iberian Peninsula via France to Germany, the hydrogen demand along our pipeline system has to be evaluated. To this end, we have launched a survey on hydrogen grid connection demand. Your participation will contribute significantly to creating planning parameters for a conversion to hydrogen and enabling a market ramp-up for hydrogen.
