What are the immediate consequences of the Dutch government's decision to limit the scope of the Delta Rhine Corridor pipeline project to hydrogen and CO2?

The Dutch government's decision to only include hydrogen and CO2 in the planned underground pipeline system will leave the transport of hazardous materials, such as ammonia and LPG, by rail through densely populated areas in South Netherlands unchanged. This means that the concerns of residents regarding safety and nuisance will persist, and planned housing projects near railway lines will likely face delays due to safety regulations. The decision was made due to the complexity and high costs associated with the initial, more ambitious plan.
