Delta Rhine Corridor
Several international private companies plan to develop a bundle of pipelines side by side for the underground transport of substances between Rotterdam, Geleen and the German border. We call this the Delta Rhine Corridor. The Delta Rhine Corridor is an infrastructure with several pipelines for hydrogen, CO₂, LPG, propylene, ammonia and possibly also direct current and natural gas, between the Port of Rotterdam and North Rhine-Westphalia, via industrial clusters Moerdijk and Chemelot. The route to be investigated also passes through the territory of the Municipality of Voorne aan Zee.
The plan is to develop and lay the pipelines as much as possible in one go. This limits inconvenience to the surrounding area, saves time in decision-making and saves costs during implementation.

Voorne aan Zee lies on the coast between the (future) offshore wind farms and the port of Rotterdam as well as industrial areas further inland. Therefore, in the coming years we will have to deal with several national projects to renew the energy system here.
Gemeente Voorne aan Zee is following the developments within the various national projects for renewing the energy system with great attention. We are looking at what the interests and possible consequences are for Voorne aan Zee, the landscape and the plans that Voorne aan Zee itself has. We bring these to the attention of EZK and involved network companies during discussions and by responding to (formal) documents. And we stress that it is important that projects are tackled in conjunction, with our residents, entrepreneurs and civil society organizations being properly involved and informed. For all projects, the municipality has no role in the decision-making process.
