Hauts de France II Gas Pipeline is an operating gas pipeline running from Loon-Plage to Cuvilly in northern France.
Location
The pipeline starts at the Dunkirk LNG Terminal in Loon-Plage on France's north coast and runs south through Pitgam, Nédon, and Corbie to the compressor station at Cuvilly, where it connects with the Arc de Dierrey Gas Pipeline.[1][2][3]

Background
GRTgaz developed the Hauts de France II pipeline project as a means to transport natural gas from its newly launched Dunkirk LNG Terminal and enhance its existing natural gas network in northern France. Construction of the pipeline began in March 2012[12] and was completed in November 2014.[7]
The pipeline consists of four sections:
- a 17 km, 36-inch section from the Dunkirk LNG Terminal to the Pitgam compressor station
- a 51 km, 48-inch section from Pitgam to Nédon
- a 71 km, 48-inch section from Nédon to Corbie
- a 52 km, 48-inch section from Nédon to the Cuvilly compressor station[1]
The southernmost three sections, between Pitgam and Cuvilly, run parallel to the original Hauts de France pipeline, which was commissioned in 1996.[3]
At Cuvilly, the Hauts de France Pipeline links up with the Arc de Dierrey Gas Pipeline. Both pipelines, together with the Dunkirk LNG Terminal, are key elements of GRTgaz's long-term strategy to increase natural gas supply to France's North Zone while developing transmission interconnections with Belgium, Germany and Switzerland.[2][13]
This pipeline is part of the European Hydrogen Backbone, and will feature a hydrogen ready expansion to the pipeline.[11] GRTGaz expects to be able to transmit up to 10% Hydrogen by 2030, with that number expected to increase by 2040.[14]
Identifiers
The SciGrid combined IGG gas transmission network data set refers to the pipeline as INET_PL_244 and INET_PL_246.[15]
