Background
The Klaipeda-Kursenai Gas Pipeline connects the Klaipeda LNG Terminal to the Baltic gas market. Construction was completed in October 2015.
In Amber Grid's 2022 Network Development plan, they note that this pipeline will be rebuilt as a hydrogen-ready pipeline capable of carrying up to 10% Hydrogen by 2030.[14] This newly built hydrogen-ready pipeline will be part of the European Hydrogen Backbone, and is expected to be operational by 2030.[15]
