【News】455 km! West France and Portugal launched the first sea and land green hydrogen pipeline in EU

The leaders of Spain, France and Portugal launched the construction plan of H2Med, the first large-scale green hydrogen transmission corridor in the EU, during the meeting of the leaders of the EU Mediterranean group of countries held in Alicante, southeastern Spain, on December 9.

Spanish Prime Minister Alexis Sánchez, after meeting with French President Macron, Portuguese Prime Minister Costa and European Commission President Von der Leyen, pointed out that this green hydrogen transmission corridor starts from Portugal, passes through Spain, crosses the Mediterranean Sea, is repaired to Marseille, France, and then connects to other European countries, and is the first large green hydrogen transmission pipeline in the EU.

Sánchez said that the project has two main objectives: first, to strengthen the EU's energy security and energy autonomy, and reduce the EU countries' external energy dependence; second, to reaffirm Europe's determination to achieve "carbon neutrality". The project will be put into operation before 2030, and will deliver 2 million tons of green hydrogen per year, accounting for about 10% of the EU's green hydrogen consumption.
