Nigeria, Niger and Algeria are advancing a 4,128-kilometre gas pipeline that could supply Europe with up to 30 billion cubic metres of natural gas annually as it seeks alternatives to Russian energy
Thanks for the link, really interesting information.
I found a link to this map of the planned h2-infrastructure in Europe.

Looks like the problem of containing h2 in pipelines was solved somehow, or maybe it is just irrelevant, compared to the flow through the pipeline. I only know how we are testing Vakuum equipment with h2 to find the smallest leaks. Feels like a hard challenge to do this over multiple kilometres of pipeline.
What I also find interesting is that there are, according to the map, already 2 pipelines to Africa planned. So maybe this is also a project, where they plan to switch from Methan to h2 in the future?
@HumbleExaggeration many of them are sold as H2 ready and there are some test every now and then, but that is another topic.
We need hydrogene for many other products and processes, generating power is not necessaryly one of thos e processes.
I often hear H2 is hard to contain, which is probably right, especially as when (humans) aren’t even able to contain gas. 🤷♂️
@HumbleExaggeration there is files with infrastructure here, I think the longest pipeline is 900 something km.
