The potential for renewable and low-carbon gas deployment and impact on enabling infrastructure development for the Baltic Sea Region

This study explores the integration of renewable and low-carbon gases within the Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) region, which includes Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Sweden. It evaluates the economic and technical potential for both the supply and demand of these gases, investigates the current infrastructure and policy landscape, and analyses the barriers—technical, safety-related, and economic—to developing biomethane and hydrogen infrastructure. Additionally, it identifies the infrastructure requirements for hydrogen and methane to support the transition and concludes with targeted recommendations to address the challenges identified.

Artelys has delivered a model-based analysis of hydrogen and methane infrastructure needs in the region, leveraging the multi-energy capabilities of the Artelys Crystal Super Grid software solution.
