The Netherlands eyes offshore energy hubs, more floating solar, reuse of gas pipelines for offshore-produced hydrogen by 2050

The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK) is now actively looking into the build-out of offshore wind beyond 2030, as well as into offshore energy hubs, offshore hydrogen production and reuse of gas pipelines for hydrogen transport. The EZK is currently working on a comprehensive 2050 plan, the draft of which is expected to be released by the end of next year.
