German utility EWE has started building a 24km hydrogen pipeline that will connect its 320MW electrolyser to the country’s 9,000km hydrogen core network.

The pipeline between Emden and Leer, known as H2CoastLink 1, is expected to be fully commissioned by autumn 2027, when EWE’s major green hydrogen plant is due online.

It will transport around 26,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year from the plant, with steelmaker Salzgitter offtaking 10,000 tonnes annually from the core network to its Flachstahl site from 2030.
