Hydrogen Infrastructure  | Grid 

A profound decarbonization of the industrial processes and feedstocks, and a massive roll out of 
distributed and remote Variable Renewable Energy Sources (VRES) - all of it in the context of 
heightened need for energy security and international competitiveness - will require hydrogen to 
satisfy the need for clean gas, but also to complement electrification and accelerate VRES integration 
in the system.

A multi modal energy system will complement an electricity grid revamp and expansion – and the 
electrification process at large - and maximize energy transport efficiency. It will also be more cost￾effective for end customers and will optimize the roll-out and assimilation of VRES in the European 

landscape. However, many regulatory, financial, and technical challenges lie ahead. This analysis 
examines the distinct characteristics of various types of hydrogen infrastructure but does not seek to 
foster competition amongst them. Hence, it establishes hydrogen infrastructure as a viable energy 
transport solution within policy environments that are increasingly turning to electrification.
