Background

The precise locations of the future Delta Rhine Corridor pipelines are still being studied. However, it is clear that in the Netherlands, the starting point is ‘the SVB strip’ (the area the national government reserved for pipelines in its structural vision). The SVB strip runs from the port area in Rotterdam via Moerdijk to Chemelot in Geleen and to the German border near Venlo. An alternative is under consideration for part of the hydrogen pipeline: an existing natural gas pipeline via the Boxtel-Ravenstein route.

This project is included in the H2inframap, which displays a collection of hydrogen-related projects across Europe.
