Natural Gas Grid, NL/DE

Main points:• Current grid structure reflects general flow from NL DE• Exception: Storage sites

Future challenges:• Dutch gas fields are getting depleted:

• Flow in both directions required• L-NG (NL) gets replaced by H-NG (Russia via DE)• Hydrogen content in natural gas?

Power Grid, Europe

https://www.entsoe.eu/data/map/

Power Grid, NL/DE intersections

4 double circuit lines (380-400 kV)

https://www.entsoe.eu/data/map/

Power Grid, NL/DE

Main points:• Only few crossborder transmission lines

Future challenges:• Fluctuating renewable power

Onshore gas infrastructure

• 12000 km high pressure pipeline• Grey: L – Gas• Yellow: H – Gas• Interconnection B – D – UK – F• Compressor stations• Mixing stations• Metering stations

Offshore infrastructure• ~3000 km pipelines, connecting 150 platforms to shore• 4 major trunklines (WGT, NGT, Local, Nogat)• NOGAT trunckline up to the Doggers bank area• NGT and WGT trunckline to UK border• Nearby future wind parks IJmuiden ver• Connection to major industrial clusters• Several sections of the grid will become available soon• Potential for re-use (CO2, H2), interfering functions?

Current H2 production

• Delfzijl 1,3 methanol• Geleen 1,8 ammonia• IJmuiden 1,0 steel production• Rotterdam/Zeeland 6,1 refining

and chemical• Totaal 10,2 BCM H2 / year

Future H2 grid

• Joint Study Gasunie & Tennet NL• H2 backbone connects main

industrial clusters in NL• H2 backbone connects main H2

producers and consumers• H2 backbone provides

interconnections to D and NL• H2 backbone can connect of

offshore H2 production and infra

Is the current infrastructure sufficientlydeveloped for our future challenges?• General

• Where are critical hotspots forinfrastructure?

• How should infrastructure beinterconnected? (e.g. PtX)

• Natural gas• Change of direction• H-gas instead of L-gas• Hydrogen in gas composition• Access to storage sites

• Power• Integration of fluctuating renewable

power generation• Limited number of cross-border

transmission points

• Fuels, Ethylene, Propylene• Current infrastructure sufficient?• Where do ethylene and propylene come

from in the future• Hydrogen and other gases

• Partial, unconnected grids• CO2

• Infrastructure required in the future?• CCU/CCS

• What sites need to be connected• Heat

• Transport over large distances currentlynot economical
