Finland is building the foundation for a national and international hydrogen economy. At the core of this effort is Gasgrid Finland’s planned hydrogen transmission network, and Sea Lapland is one of its most strategic northern nodes.
Gasgrid’s National Hydrogen Network
Gasgrid is developing a phased National Hydrogen Backbone, designed to:
- connect Finland’s major hydrogen clusters (Southern Finland – West Coast – Lapland)
- enable 5–10 GW of electrolyzer capacity
- integrate large offshore wind power areas into the pipeline network
- link Finland to the European Hydrogen Backbone for continental market access
This emerging pipeline system will form the new backbone of Finland’s energy infrastructure.
Hydrogen Pipeline in Sea Lapland
Sea Lapland is positioned centrally in the northern hydrogen corridor. According to current plans, the pipeline will:
- follow the Gulf of Bothnia coastline
- connect the industrial areas from Simo to Tornio, via Kemi, and Keminmaa
- continue towards Sweden’s Norrbotten industrial region
- provide industrial projects with access to a national and international hydrogen market
With pipeline access, Sea Lapland projects can scale from local MW installations to GW-level hydrogen and P2X production integrated into cross-border market flows.

Gasgrid Finland
Gasgrid Finland is a state-owned gas transmission system operator developing Finland’s future hydrogen infrastructure. Through the Nordic Hydrogen Route project, Gasgrid aims to build a cross-border hydrogen pipeline network that enables large-scale clean hydrogen production, transport, and industrial use across the Bothnian Bay region.
