GREENCONNECT aims to facilitate the integration of biomethane into European gas networks through the deployment of reverse-flow installations. Developed jointly by Natran and Energinet, the project has been recognised by the European Commission as a Project of Common Interest (PCI). Reverse-flow stations enable surplus biomethane produced in local distribution networks to be transported to national transmission systems, supporting the REPowerEU target of 35 bcm of biomethane by 2030. The project promotes knowledge sharing, faster infrastructure deployment, and the development of best practices for biomethane integration across Europe.

mosaHYc (Moselle-Saar Hydrogen Conversion) is one of Europe’s first cross-border hydrogen infrastructure projects based on the repurposing of existing natural gas assets. The project will convert around 94 km of pipeline between France and Germany into an open hydrogen transport network, connecting industrial consumers with future hydrogen production facilities. By reusing existing infrastructure, mosaHYc supports a cost-efficient and resource-efficient transition to hydrogen and is expected to avoid approximately 0.7 million tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions per year in key industrial sectors, notably the steel industry.

WAG Loop 1 aims to strengthen Austria’s security of supply by expanding the West Austria Gas Pipeline (WAG) with a 40 km parallel pipeline section between Oberkappel and Bad Leonfelden. The project will increase west-to-east transmission capacity, improving access to gas supplies from Northwestern Europe and LNG import terminals. It will also enhance supply flexibility for Austria and neighbouring countries while laying the groundwork for future hydrogen transport as part of the European Hydrogen Backbone and SouthH2 Corridor initiatives.

An opportunity for internationally coordinated, large scale, far offshore wind energy from the North Sea. An opportunity which would deliver energy at competitive prices around 2030 and facilitate meeting the Paris agreement. We are committed to explore and develop regional socio-economic beneficial and reliable offshore infrastructure, including possible conversion into P2G, that supports wind farm operations and interconnections between markets. Average daily production of H2 is 30 GWh/d.

SEEHyC initiative aims to establish a hydrogen interconnector linking high-potential hydrogen supply areas in South-East Europe with expected high-demand clusters in the EU, primarily in South Germany and North Bohemia. Additionally, it will connect local suppliers and consumers along the corridor. The pipeline will span over 3,000 km, enabling the transmission of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen. According to the ongoing pre-feasibility study, the project aims to be operational by 2030, with a minimum transport capacity of up to 80 GWh of hydrogen per day, or approximately 0.8 million tonnes per year.

Gdańsk FSRU Terminal is a strategic LNG infrastructure project designed to enhance energy security and supply diversification in Poland and the wider region. Located in the Gulf of Gdańsk, the terminal will include a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) with a regasification capacity of around 6.1 bcm of gas per year, connected to the national transmission system through offshore infrastructure and approximately 250 km of new onshore gas pipelines. The project has been recognised as an EU Project of Common Interest (PCI) and is expected to strengthen regional gas supply flexibility and resilience.

CH42 Network Transformation Plan for Renewable Gases brings together 25 Swiss gas network operators to coordinate the transition of the country’s gas infrastructure towards renewable gases by 2050. The initiative covers around 50% of Switzerland’s distribution network, 98% of its transmission network and 60% of national gas consumption. Initial assessments show that 77% of analysed distribution pipelines are already hydrogen-compatible, supporting the future integration of biomethane, renewable hydrogen and synthetic methane.

Barcelona LNG Cold Recovery Network aims to recover residual cold from the regasification process at the Enagás LNG terminal and convert it into sustainable energy for industrial, commercial and residential users. Developed by Enagás, Veolia and the Barcelona City Council, the project supplies low-carbon cooling through Southern Europe’s largest district cooling network. By recovering energy that would otherwise be lost, it supports decarbonisation, improves energy efficiency, and avoids more than 32,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.

TENP III aims to strengthen security of supply in Germany and Europe through the modernisation of the Trans-Europe Natural Gas Pipeline connecting Northwest Europe with Switzerland and the Italian gas market. Developed by Open Grid Europe (OGE) and Fluxys TENP, the 110 km pipeline increases transport flexibility through bidirectional flows and is fully hydrogen-ready. The project supports future hydrogen imports from Southern Europe while ensuring reliable energy transport and reinforcing cross-border connectivity.

Adjustment of the line of the transmission system for transmission of 100% H2 between Slovakia and Hungary will create possibility for H2 transmisson in the North -South direction. Project is part of the Slovak Hydrogen Backbone and the SEEHyCorridor inititative. Eustream has been conducting informal market survey. Close discussions with potential H2 producers and offtakers have resulted in conclusion of several Letters of Support or Memorandum of Understanding confirming their support to and interest in the Project implementation.
