European Hydrogen Backbone

Matching demand and supply

The European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) initiative consists of a group of thirty-two energy infrastructure operators, united through a shared vision of a climate-neutral Europe enabled by a thriving renewable and low-carbon hydrogen market.

  • Vision for 2030-2040 developed in line with EU H₂ strategy
  • 5 supply corridors for importing hydrogen
  • Substantial repurposing of existing natural gas grids
  • 31 000 km H₂-grid by 2030, 53 000 km by 2040

Interactive map of hydrogen infrastructure projects

The energy industry stakeholders, in cooperation with EHB, have bundled the ongoing hydrogen infrastructure projects and future needs, in the form of an interactive map. Those involved are gas transmission system operators (TSOs), distribution system operators (DSOs), storage system operators (SSOs) and LNG system operators (LSOs), as well as other players developing projects along the value-chain, liaising with production and off-takers. The hydrogen infrastructure projects include transmission pipelines, distribution pipelines, storage sites, terminals and ports, and some demand and production projects.
