Delta Corridor links industrie with clean h2 and offshore ccs solutions
April 6, 2022 – The Port of Rotterdam Authority and cross sector industry partners are supporting the development of the Delta Corridor project, comprising of a bundle of four pipelines between the Rotterdam port, Chemelot and the German Rhineland region. This project will provide access to clean hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity being realized and in addition will result in a shift in pipeline transport capacity for propylene and LPG. The infrastructure will connect major inland industry clusters in the Netherlands and Germany with branches along the entire corridor. The access is an urgent and essential need for hard to abate industries to meet the EU climate targets as set for 2030.
