Gasgrid Selects StreamTec for Hydrogen Infrastructure Projects

Gasgrid, a leading energy infrastructure company, has awarded StreamTec Solutions AG (STS) a framework contract for Owners Engineering (OE) services to support the development of hydrogen transmission infrastructure projects in the Baltic Sea region.

This strategic partnership aims to accelerate the transition to a hydrogen-based economy and strengthen energy security in the region. The framework contract, which has a minimum term of four years with options for two additional two-year extensions, will focus on two key projects:

• Baltic Sea Hydrogen Collector (BHC): This project explores the development of an extensive offshore hydrogen pipeline infrastructure connecting Finland, Sweden, and Central Europe.
• Nordic Baltic Hydrogen Corridor (NBHC): This initiative aims to establish a hydrogen infrastructure network from Finland to Germany, passing through Estonia, Latvia, and Poland by 2030.

Esa Hallivuori Senior Vice President, Infrastructure Projects Gasgrid commented: “The hydrogen economy will improve security of supply and safety in the Baltic Sea region and Europe as a whole, bring much-needed flexibility to the energy system and create new investments and jobs”.

Georg Nowack Project Manager from STS added “We are delighted to be entrusted by Gasgrid to support the development of these prestigious and ambitious infrastructure projects. This partnership highlights our expertise in delivering innovative projects in the field of hydrogen and offshore construction.”

This collaboration between Gasgrid and StreamTec marks a significant step forward in the development of a hydrogen-based energy future for the Baltic Sea region and Europe.
