Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector is a proposed hydrogen pipeline running in the Baltic Sea, connecting Sweden, Finland and Germany.

Location

The pipeline will connect proposed green hydrogen production facilities around the Finnish Aland island to mainland Sweden at Bagghus, Ghavle in Finland, and Lubmin in Germany.[1]

Background

In December, 2022, Finnish and Swedish gas transmission system operators (TSOs) Gasgrid Finland and Nordion Energi, and industry companies OX2 AB (STO:OX2) and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners began to explore the feasibility of this project, intended to transport up to 19.6 GW of green hydrogen by 2030.[5]

The project is still only in the pre-feasibility phase, with additional details yet to be announced.[1]

The H2 Interconnector Bornholm-Lubmin appears to be a distinct but similar route to the southern section of the broader Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector.[6]
