In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that the first major hydrogen corridor in Europe, the so-called H2Med project comprised of hydrogen interconnection between Portugal and Spain and a subsea pipeline connecting Spain and France (BarMar), is entering the next phase of its development with contracts for preliminary engineering and environmental impact studies in place. Transmission system operators (TSOs) and developing partners of the BarMar project Enagás, GRTgaz, and Teréga, in coordination with OGE, have contracted the Wood company to conduct the preliminary engineering studies, perform the analysis of route alternatives and select the corridor of the BarMar project, according to the report. The report added that the scope of work includes analyzing the various potential routes for the offshore pipeline to connect Barcelona to Marseille across the Mediterranean Sea. The comprehensive evaluation will help identify a preferred corridor for BarMar and will consider technical, economic, environmental, and societal perspectives.
