H2Avannet

H2Avannet is a regional hydrogen distribution network being developed in the Port of Amsterdam to connect hydrogen producers, importers and industrial users through an efficient, low-pressure grid. Designed to support local hydrogen uptake in decarbonisation, the network will initially allow clean hydrogen to flow across the port and surrounding industrial zones, facilitating early offtake and operational demand. It is planned to integrate with the broader national hydrogen transport backbone (being constructed by Hynetwork – Gasunie) in the future, enabling continuity from large-scale supply and imports to localised users. The development of H2Avannet demonstrates how distributed infrastructure can underpin hydrogen-based industrial transformation and greater energy security in the region.
