Israel approves planning for nationwide green hydrogen pipeline
Author: PPD Team Date: May 9, 2025
Israel will begin work on a national blueprint for a green hydrogen pipeline following approval from the National Planning and Building Council.
The proposed system will stretch from the Jezreel Valley in the north to Eilot near Eilat in the south. It will channel green hydrogen produced from excess renewable energy to industrial zones, aiming to improve grid stability and cut fossil fuel dependence.
A hydrogen valley is also planned in southern Israel. This hub will focus on green hydrogen production, equipment manufacturing, and use across transport, industry, and power sectors.
The pipeline is expected to pass through major industrial zones. It is designed to help factories switch from polluting fuels to hydrogen. The government expects the planning phase to finish by the end of 2025, with private investors funding the project.
