The company that manages the gas network in Spain has announced on Monday in Santurtzi the project called Truncheon Network of Hydrogen Infrastructuresof the Basque Country , which has been attended by its president, Imanol Pradales; the Industry Advisor, Mikel Jauregi; the Secretary of State for Energy, Joan Groizard; the General Director of the Port Authority of Bilbao, General Director of the Port Authority of Bilbao.

The Spanish hydrogen network as a whole will be 2,600 kilometres long and will run through 13 autonomous communities. It is also planned to connect with Portugal and France by means of an underwater infrastructure connecting the European Union's first green hydrogen corridor (H2med). More than 80% will run parallel to the existing gas infrastructure and it is planned to add a branch connecting the Basque Country and France in the future.

The part of the infrastructure corresponding to the BasqueCountry will contribute to the implementation of the Basque Hydrogen Strategy , which provides for the production of 100,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 300 MW of electrolysis by 2030.

In order to publicize the project of the Network, Enagás has designed aConceptual Plan for Public Participation  , which includes an active hearing process 1 for the input of the administrations and citizens of the municipalities through which it passes. n the CAPVwill begin on 18 Decemberin Muskiz and end on 19 December.
