Dutch biogas pipeline
April 20 (LNGJ) - Gasunie, the Dutch utility and LNG terminals stakeholder, has decided to convert a natural gas pipeline of 60 kilometres in length from Emmen to Ommen in the northeast of the Netherlands to make it suitable for the transport of only regional biogas made from waste. Gasunie said the first flows of biogas are expected through the converted pipeline by August 2025 and would remove congestion in parts of the gas pipeline system in the Netherlands.
“The increasing amount of ‘green gas’ is causing congestion in the regional pipelines on which the various regional producers sell their ‘green gas’. With the decision to convert the natural gas pipeline from Emmen to Ommen into a transport pipeline for ‘green gas’, one central discharge pipeline has been created for the sale of ‘green gas’ by producers in this region,” said Gasunie.
