French firm GRTgaz to study potential hydrogen supply to Dunkirk area
In France, Reuters reported that French gas transmission operator GRTgaz will conduct a feasibility study into transporting low-carbon hydrogen fuel to the industrial and port area of Dunkirk after 11 companies expressed an interest in using such infrastructure. According to the report, GRTgaz noted that the study would look into a potential 20 kilometer structure with the capacity to transport between 600 and 1,000 megawatts along a route connecting the projects of co-financiers of the study, including ArcelorMittal, Imerys and producer H2V. A total of five producers of hydrogen and six consumers responded to the call for interest, the French firm said. “The major role that hydrogen will play in the future in the decarbonization of the economy is confirmed …. Tomorrow, this new infrastructure could also be interconnected with Belgium,” GRTgaz CEO Thierry Trouvé reportedly said.
