5 Overview of project submission

Overall, 326 investments1 have been included in the ­TYNDP 2024 by more than 90 different project promoters including both TSOs and third-party promoters. The graph below provides the overview for this submission, compared to the previous ­TYNDP editions. The full details of the project information included in the ­TYNDP 2024 can be found in Annex A2 of this Report. This section of the report provides a general information of the received submissions. Submissions are further analysed in sections 6, 7 and 8.

5.1 Infrastructure Categories

The ­TYNDP 2024 is designed to offer a view of the future hydrogen and natural gas infrastructure evolution. One aim of the ­TYNDP 2024 is to include projects that bring benefits to the European society beyond an exclusive eligibility assessment of projects for the status of PCI or PMI. For this reason, promoters can submit to the ­TYNDP, on a voluntarily basis, also production facilities (such as electrolysers), as well as natural gas projects needed to complete market integration or to ensure security of supply and reduce dependence on Russian gas.

In ­TYNDP 2024, projects are classified into four different categories based on the energy carrier as defined in the ­TYNDP 2024 GPI. In addition, each main category is divided into different ­subcategories, as it follows:

1. Hydrogen

  • Hydrogen transmission pipelines (H2T)
  • Hydrogen storage facilities (H2S)
  • Hydrogen reception facilities (H2L)
  • Hydrogen in the transport sector for mobility (H2M)
  • Electrolysers for hydrogen production (H2E)

2. Natural Gas

  • Gas transmission pipelines (TRA)
  • Underground storage facilities (UGS)
  • Reception and storage and regasifi­cation or decompression facilities for liquefied natural gas (LNG)

3. Smart Gas Grid

  • Retrofitting projects to integrate hydrogen blends (RET)
  • Biomethane development projects (BIO)
  • Synthetic methane projects (SYN)

4. Others

  • Repurposing of natural gas infrastructure for CO2 transport and other infrastructure related projects (OTH)

Project subcategories allow for an adapted and fit-for-purpose project submission process. Figure 6 provides an overview of the submitted investments per type of infrastructure.

Table 2: Natural gas projects commissioned since TYNDP 2022.

25 projects that were part of ­TYNDP 2022 were completed between the two ­TYNDP editions. The commissioning of these projects further contributes to the development of the European gas system, enhancing the level of market integration, security of supply, and competition.

Some of the above projects have been submitted to ­TYNDP 2024 but have been commissioned in the following months directly after the end of the project submission phase and will be therefore considered in the ­TYNDP 2024 Low natural gas infrastructure level and are no longer part of the project submission analyses in the next chapters.

5.3 Projects foreseen to be commissioned before 2025

In addition to the 25 commissioned projects, 23 investments which are about to be commissioned before the end of 2025 haven been submitted to ­TYNDP 2024.

These projects are further contributing to the security of supply. A list of these projects is presented below:
