NGT B.V. owns and operates a nearly 500 kilometer network of pipelines in the North Sea. For over 50 years we have been successfully transporting natural gas to shore.
By transforming the existing infrastructure into an integrated offshore hydrogen backbone, we aim to accelerate the green hydrogen economy.
With natural gas production declining and a new sustainable energy generation growing we aim to reuse our existing pipelines to transport offshore produced green hydrogen to land. Research results show that our extensive gas pipeline infrastructure – running from the North Sea UK border to Uithuizen, Groningen – is suitable to transport hydrogen. Furthermore, combined with the equally suited NOGAT pipelines- running from Denmark to Den Helder- we can start transporting H2 as early as 2030 and ensure a redundant offshore pipeline system by 2045. Integrating existing infrastructure is the smart way forward. We join relevant consortia and projects to share knowledge and expertise. Among others, we are member of the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance and consortium partner in PosHYdon. NGT brings energy ashore.
