1 INTRODUCTION
The European Clean Hydrogen Alliance (ECH2A) Roundtable on Clean Hydrogen Transmis-
sion and Distribution brings together public and private companies, research institutes,
civil society and policy makers/regional authorities working in the transport and distribution
of hydrogen (renewable and/or low-carbon) from renewable and low-carbon hydrogen
production sites to consumer/demand centers, especially those sectors with hard-to-abate
emissions.
The scope of the Roundtable is on the following four Ar-
chetypes: 1. Transmission and distribution pipelines for
local, regional, national, and international transport and
storage facilities; 2. Marine storage and handling terminals
in ports covering both existing as well as new terminals,
3. Shipping covering deep sea and short-distance maritime
routes, 4. Inland distribution modes of transport including
trucks, rail, barges, hubs and operational storage (such as
bullets, tanks, containers, etc.).

On 29 September 2022, the CEOs of the Roundtable
gave the Sherpas the mandate to prepare a report on ‘H₂
supply corridors’, as outlined in European Commission’s
RePowerEU Action Plan. REPowerEU outlined the need
to accelerate development of hydrogen infrastructure for
producing, importing, and transporting 20 million tonnes
of hydrogen by 2030. The European Commission outlined
three potential H₂ import corridors via the Mediterranean,
the North Sea area and, as soon as conditions allow, with
Ukraine. Visually these corridors were split into seven
different routes as seen in Figure 1.
The ‘Learnbook on H₂ Supply Corridors’ aims to build
on this framework, providing industry expertise and
knowledge on three key areas: i) identify the potential and
specificities of each corridor; ii) provide visual representa-
tion of each corridor with a list of planned H₂ transmission,
distribution, storage, terminal and production/demand
projects; ii) identify region specific bottlenecks and provide
recommendations to mitigate them.
The scope of the ‘Learnbook’ is based on the RePowerEU’s
schematic representation of the H₂ corridors and will
include:
1. South Central H₂ corridor
2. Iberian H₂ corridor
3. North Sea H₂ corridor
4. Nordic Baltic H₂ corridor
5. Eastern H₂ corridor
6. South-eastern H₂ corridor
1 The South Central H₂ Corridor refers to the Adriatic H₂ Corridor, as named in the REPowerEU Plan. This renaming better reflects the geographical area interested by
this Corridor initiatives and avoids potential confusions with PCI definitions.
It was agreed that projects in the ‘North-African H₂ corridor’
would be allocated to either the South Central (named as
Adriatic in the RePowerEU1) or Iberian corridors depending
on their geographical scope. In addition, there would be a
further grouping of projects focusing on Germany as a key
arrival and convergence point for all corridors.
The projects included in the ‘Learnbook’ reflect the best
available information submitted by project promoters by
March 2023, and are in no way exhaustive, as some pro-
moters may still work outside of the reach of the Alliance.
The list of projects outlines the projects visualised in the
Hydrogen Infrastructure Map, which includes projects from
various collection exercises: TYNDP, PCI, DG GROW survey,
and projects from partner associations (GIE, Eurogas, CE-
DEC, GD4S, GEODE) and was lastly updated on 31 March
2023.
Through curation of data and input for the ‘Learnbook’ it
became clear that although each corridor has its individual
and unique characteristics, there are several cross-cutting
themes which are common amongst all. Reflecting this, the
final section of the document delineates these Union-wide
bottlenecks and the corresponding Union-wide regulatory
and policy measures that could help ease them.
Disclaimer:
Joining the ECH2A, NGOs agree to engage and contribute
to the deployment of renewable hydrogen in terms of
supply, demand and distribution as we promote the rapid
phase-out of the use and production of all fossil fuels in
order to reach the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Thus
we do not consider fossil fuel based hydrogen as a short-
or long-term solution. We see our role in contributing to
targeting the use of renewable hydrogen specifically to
those sectors and industrial processes which are hard to
decarbonise (steel, cement and basic chemicals, aviation,
shipping and heavy good vehicles).
