Sweco partners with Gasgrid for the preparation of the national hydrogen infrastucture

16.1.2025

The network company Gasgrid Finland has published a plan for the first phase of the national hydrogen infrastucture. The preparation of the pipeline route, which is more than 1000 kilometres long, will next proceed to an environmental impact assessment.

Sweco has been selected as a partner in Gasgrid’s framework agreement. Sweco’s services include environmental consulting for the hydrogen infrastucture, such as EIA procedures, preparation of environmental and water permit applications, needed environmental and nature surveys, and land acquisition consulting. The framework agreement is for the next four years, and it is possible to extend the agreement period. The first assignments will begin in 2025.

“We are excited to be involved in promoting the energy transition and the development of the hydrogen economy in Finland. We have a lot of experience in EIA processes in different fields and strong expertise in environmental and nature surveys. A carefully and expertly implemented EIA phase is a key part of the successful preparation of the project,” says Juho Siipo, Division Director, Infrastructure and Traffic, Sweco.
