Spain-France hydrogen pipeline exits pre-FEED phase en route to final subsea design
Following the completion of pre-engineering studies (pre-FEED), the BarMar hydrogen pipeline project, which will connect Spain and France, is entering the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase, set to confirm the technical viability and final design of the subsea infrastructure.
BarMar is a 400-kilometer offshore hydrogen pipeline project that will connect Barcelona to the industrial hub of Fos-sur-Mer, near Marseille, with a transmission capacity of 2 million tons of hydrogen per year (MTPA).
The completion of the pre-FEED phase confirmed the project’s overall technical feasibility and design basis for the compression station and pipeline. An advanced corridor route has also been defined, drawing on the initial findings of the environmental impact assessment, which is still ongoing.
