DESFA’s tender inquiry awards Basic Engineering Design of the “High Pressure Hydrogen Pipeline H2DRIA“ Project to C&M Engineering.

The project consists of a High-Pressure Hydrogen Pipeline of approximately 540 km, with the starting point at Agioi Theodoroi in Corinth and the end point at Greece’s borders with Bulgaria. The pipeline system will be designed for 100% hydrogen readiness.

According to DESFA, the purpose of this infrastructure is to connect hydrogen production units located in the Greek mainland with consumption points in Athens, Corinth and Thessaloniki industrial areas, and subject to the relevant developments, with neighboring countries, namely Bulgaria and possibly North Macedonia in the future.

The project has been selected in the 1st Projects of Common/Mutual Interest List of the European Commission.

It is part of the Southeastern Corridor of the European Hydrogen Backbone and more specifically of the Southeastern European Hydrogen Corridor Initiative (SEEHyC) which plans to cover 2.854 km of repurposed gas and new hydrogen infrastructure, that will be able to initially transport 80 GWh/d from south to north.
