‘Denmark and Germany are working together to get the hydrogen pipeline up and running early. The pipeline is scheduled to go into operation as early as 2030,’ says Head of Department Dr Philipp Steinberg from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK) met with Deputy State Secretary Marie Hindhede from the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities (Klima-, Energi- og Forsyningsministeriet), the regulatory authorities of both countries, the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) and Forsyningstilsynet – Danish Utility Regulator, as well as the two project developers Energinet and Gasunie.
The Danish government is enabling the southern section of the hydrogen pipeline on the Danish side with loans and operating subsidies. The fact that the pipeline is due to go into operation as early as 2030 is an important step towards a more integrated European energy system. This strengthens energy security and creates local added value – in Denmark and in Germany.
