Over 50 years expertise within the global hydrogen and renewable energy sectors
TSO2020 is the largest Action approved in the first so-called Synergy call of proposal launched as part of the EU Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). The project is designed to exploit synergies between power storage solutions and alternative transport infrastructure needs. It will use existing power cable networks to dispatch the electricity flows from the Cobracable PCI to a nearby major gas network facility. Existing gas storage facilities and the national gas pipeline network (power to gas) will be unlocked to absorb the H2. Local businesses will provide H2 distribution via road transport in the Netherlands and the western part of Germany.
The project will see the construction of two pilot locations to respectively test the impact of storage and grid balancing equipment on the electrical and gas networks (Zuidwending pilot) and develop a hydrogen distribution hub (Delfzijl pilot) to efficiently distribute hydrogen to various end customers.
Hyenergy's part in TSO2020
HyEnergy participated in TSO2020 through their position in the European Hydrogen Association. Together with ENERGY ENGINEERS GmbH, the two produced a comprehensive business plan, including financial and location mapping, for a group of industrial partners and TSOs to investigate the potential of power-to-gas within their businesses.
TSO2020 has now concluded, and much of its work has laid the foundations for the development of the HEAVENN project – one of the first hydrogen valleys in the world.
