据电力新闻2021年6月4日报道，德国两大天然气传输系统运营商Gascade和Ontras日前发布的一份联合声明称，两家公司计划于2026年在德国东部启动一个专用氢气中心。
最初的网络将包括475公里的管道，连接西波美拉尼亚、勃兰登堡、萨克森自治州、萨克森-安哈尔特和柏林的生产和消费点，三分之二的管道由现有的天然气基础设施改造成氢气运输管道。余下的三分之一的管道长度将构成新的氢气管道。
声明称：“Gascade和Ontras计划为东德的氢工业建立一个强大的平台。”“所生产的氢气将支持德国的氢气工业，而且是迄今为止东德计划中最大的氢气项目。”
Gascade说，这个项目的相关性得到了德国联邦经济部的认可，它也在为欧洲共同利益的重要项目提供资金的候选名单上。
Gascade总经理Christoph von dem Bussche说：“我们可以一起在东德启动快速建立氢气工业。”“有了475公里的初始电网，我们可以迅速建立大型重氢产能，也可以在国际上扩张。”
Ontras董事总经理拉尔夫•巴克表示：“不同的项目和地区为我们提供了密集的交流，从而能够开发协同潜力，并寻求与其他基础设施项目的联接。这意味着我们可以有效地将新兴的氢生产和消费中心连接起来，从而确保供应安全。”
5月26日，德国天然气网络贸易组织FNB在其网络发展计划中宣布，应德国能源监管机构BNetzA 3月份的要求，天然气和氢气网络的发展将保持完全独立。
这种分离的基础是德国政府在2月份批准的临时法规。在该法规中，两种商品的监管框架将被分开，以免阻碍其中一种的发展，或将氢开发的成本计入国内账单。
Gascade是俄罗斯天然气股份公司和德国化工巨头巴斯夫的合资企业。

German gas TSOs plan dedicated hydrogen hub for 2026 launch
Two German natural gas transmissions system operators, Gascade and The initial network will comprise 475 km of pipeline connecting production and consumption points in Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Berlin, with two-thirds of the system consisting of existing gas infrastructure converted for hydrogen transit. The remaining third of the project's total pipeline length will be formed of new hydrogen conduit.
"Gascade and Gascade said that the project's relevance was recognized by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs, and that it is "Together, we can initiate the rapid establishment of a hydrogen industry in Eastern Germany," Gascade's managing director Christoph von dem Bussche said. "With an initial grid of 475 kilometers, we can swiftly build up large H2 capacities and also expand internationally."
"Different projects and regions provide us with an intensive exchange to be able to exploit synergy potential and pursue links to other infrastructure projects," Ralph Bahke, managing director at The news comes just days after German gas-network trade body FNB announced in its Network Development Plan This separation has its basis in interim regulation approved by the German government in February, where the regulatory framework for the two commodities is set to be kept apart, lest this would stunt the development of either, or that the cost of hydrogen development would be imparted Gascade is a joint venture between Russian state-owned gas company Gazprom and Germany's BASF.
