Why transport hydrogen for so many kilometers when you can transport electricity with minimal losses and hydrolyze water where the hydrogen is actually needed?

I can understand the justification for hydrogen since it’s a byproduct of some Industrial processes, but does a hydrogen pipeline of this size make economic sense?

Lithuanias gas transmission operator being called “Amber Grid” is absolute perfection.

Hydrogen is a technology with a dead end.

Would a hydrogen pipeline need constant cooling?

Wow, can we complete rail baltic before we start another Mega project?

A hydrogen pipeline through the Suwalki gap, what could possibly go wrong?

Put a hydrogen pipeline on the seafloor in front of a Russian harbor, what could possibly go wrong…

Love the collaboration, but hydrogen ain’t it.
A metaphor thrown about a lot but that works well:
Hydrogen is the Swiss Army knife of energy solutions. It *can* do almost anything. You could make your dinner with a Swiss Army knife, you could light a fire, you could saw down a tree. But, is it the best tool for the job? Just because you can do something someway doesn’t mean you should

Hydrogen is not future. If you can get it cheaply, OK. But it has very small molecules. Working with it is too complicated for scale.

God… I thought we had already passed over the Hydrogen stupidity… here we go again to burn public money into a failed business…

What happens if somebody shoot at the pipeline ? Kaboom? 💥

If only there existed an underground pipeline through the baltic sea that was capable of transporting hydrogen…

Meanwhile hydrogen inside the Baltic Sea (bounded to oxygen): __Am I a joke to you?__
Obviously joking 🙂
But have we any serious data about the need of this type of structure? Seems pretty wasteful.

Yep, fresh hydrogen delivered in Germany straight from Finish nuclear SMR http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/articles/tractebel-to-help-develop-steady-energys-heating-smr
(minus the leakage)
Not worse than enjoying French electricity you might say.
The hydrogen lobby (aka oil industry) is still trying hard to stay relevant. This makes zero sense from an engineering and therefore financial pov.
that’s all cool but we’re still waiting for [Beer Stream 1](https://preview.redd.it/56i3gs0y37s91.jpg?auto=webp&s=c3805318b0fe3eb59d34dbff8cec57e2948d9596) from Czechia
