Germany and Finland Sign Hydrogen Cooperation Agreement for Baltic Mega-Network
Germany and Finland have signed a cooperation agreement in Paris to develop a cross-border hydrogen network in the Baltic region. The agreement involves the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) and the Finnish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment (MEAE).
It aims to establish a hydrogen value chain from clean energy generation to the production of hydrogen and derivatives like synthetic methane and ammonia. The Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor will connect Finland directly to Germany through pipeline projects by the early 2030s.
Finland will create a national hydrogen market by 2035, while Germany will open funding opportunities for investors in the Finnish ecosystem. The EU supports this development with significant funding, including up to €6.9 billion for the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI).
