The call for interest survey looks to strengthen the pipeline’s business case with letters of intent from regional players, while gaining technical and commercial intelligence from potential collaborators and offtakers.
While input at this stage remains non-binding, the six bodies in the joint-led development hope to further discussions with respondents.
NBHC aims to connect hydrogen producers, storage, and end-users in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Germany. It’s being advanced by transmission system operators Gasgrid Finland, Elering, Conexus Baltic Grid, Amber Grid, Gaz-System and Ontras.
The survey is now open and runs until March 31.
The pipeline entered the feasibility phase in 2025. As a recognised Project of Common Interest by the European Commission, NBHC was awarded €6.8m ($7.9m) for this phase, from which it expects to advance in early 2027.
The project could transport up to 2.7 million tonnes of hydrogen by 2040.
