Background

This project is listed in ENTSOG's Ten-Year Network Development plan as a hydrogen-ready pipeline. GRTgaz has launched an “Open Season” from 16 June to 16 September 2022 to confirm the economic interest in setting up a transport infrastructure between Valenciennes in France and Mons in Belgium, in collaboration with Fluxys. It is also part of the European Hydrogen Backbone.

The segment between Valenciennes and Mons was proposed to carry hydrogen for the PCI 6 list as part of a Franco-Belgian H2 Corridor.
