Denmark / Germany – Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Uniper enter partnership to bring green hydrogen from CIP’s HØST PtX Esbjerg project to Germany. The partnership will drive collaboration on the production, transport, and marketing of green hydrogen.
It is expected that HØST as ultimo 2028, will be connected to the German hydrogen backbone via a new hydrogen pipeline to be developed from Denmark to Germany by the Danish transmission system operator Energinet in cooperation with Gasunie Deutschland Transport Services.
CIP and Uniper will deliver up to 140,000 tons of green hydrogen annually to customers in Germany. Uniper intends to take green hydrogen from HØST into its green gas portfolio and supply the industry’s needs with varying flexibility profiles and with different contract lengths.
Holger Kreetz, COO at Uniper: “We see great potential in this collaboration. HØST fits our strategic target of achieving at least 1 GW installed electrolyser capacity by 2030 and our other electrolyser developments in Germany such as Green Wilhelmshaven. Uniper’s diversified hydrogen portfolio consists of various supply sources to guarantee competitive and secure supplies in line with customer needs.”
