Analysing hydrogen infrastructure in the Meuse-Rhine region

HY-Infra 

1 Jan 2026 – 31 Dec 2028

HY-Infra is a cross-border project that aims to analyse the development of hydrogen infrastructure in the Meuse-Rhine region (Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany). The project addresses key barriers to large-scale hydrogen deployment, including fragmented infrastructure planning, limited aggregation of demand, and lack of knowledge on hydrogen quality in cross-border networks.

By bringing together industry, research institutions and regional authorities, HY-Infra develops an integrated analysis for infrastructure planning, demand mapping and quality assurance for the period 2026-2035.

Key outputs include:

•  a modular roadmap;
•  a transnational database on demand and infrastructure;
•  and innovative hydrogen quality monitoring solutions, including a mobile laboratory and testing campaigns.

Through close cross-border cooperation, HY-Infra builds support among governments, provides additional insights for companies, and strengthens the Meuse-Rhine region as a strategic European hub for hydrogen innovation.

The project  is being implemented as part of the Interreg Maas-Rhine (NL-BE-DE) programme. The consortium consists of ZBT (DE), ANPLICON GmbH (DE), POM Limburg (BE), Cluster Tweed (BE) and WaterstofNet (NL).

Role of WaterstofNet

WaterstofNet is HY-Infra’s project coordinator and is in charge of the communication in collaboration with the project partners.
