Plug Power obtained a milestone within the European hydrogen economy through finishing the first fill of Hynetwork’s 32-kilometer pipeline in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with 32-tons of RFNBO-certified renewable green hydrogen. The venture included delivering specialized unloading infrastructure to assist initial purging and filling operations.
Hynetwork, a 100% Gasunie subsidiary, is growing the Dutch national hydrogen network through redirecting present infrastructure. Its 32-km Rotterdam section links important industrial, port-primarily based requirements centers and acts as a foundation for a pan-European hydrogen transport system.
This milestone creates on Plug’s proven European hydrogen delivery capabilities, showed in October 2025 with the H2CAST venture in Germany, a joint venture led by Gasunie and STORAG ETZEL. Plug successfully supplied over 44 tons of renewable hydrogen to the H2CAST salt cavern storage facility and was subsequently awarded an extra 35-ton supply contract. Together, these ventures emphasize Plug’s ability to dependably supply and transport hydrogen at scale across Europe.
“The Hynetwork hydrogen network represents one of Europe’s most essential early hydrogen infrastructure deployments, and Plug is proud to assist the commissioning of the Rotterdam pipeline,” stated Jose Luis Crespo, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Plug. “This venture emphasizes the strength of Plug’s end-to-end hydrogen platform—from certified green hydrogen supply and logistics to custom engineering and on-site execution—providing the flexibility and speed customers need as hydrogen infrastructure scales across Europe.”
“This first fill within the Rotterdam cluster is a big step toward the future and similarly roll out of the hydrogen network and the wider European market. It shows that the network has moved from concept to realization, instilling market confidence that it is going to be provided and a dependable and steady transport solution becomes available.” stated Sietse Wijnstra, Project director Hynetwork.
Plug is supplying hydrogen from Hy2Gen’s RFNBO-certified Atlantis facility, wherein Plug controls 100% of the offtake by a tooling agreement.
The hydrogen is being delivered using of Plug’s fleet of 40-ft MEGC trailers, every capable to transporting more than 1,000 kg of compressed hydrogen, deployed in coordination with established logistics partners.
