IMI to Provide PEM Electrolyser for Green Hydrogen Project at Port of Klaipėda
Key Ideas
- IMI will supply a PEM electrolyser for a new hydrogen refuelling station at the Port of Klaipėda in Lithuania, making it the first in the Baltic region to produce on-site green hydrogen.
- The electrolyser, developed by EPC contractor MT Group, will allow the port to produce 500kg of green hydrogen per day, equivalent to 127 tons per year, using 3 MW of electricity from sustainable sources.
- On-site hydrogen production will help reduce the need for transportation and storage of hydrogen, contributing to emission reductions in line with the European Green Deal objectives of achieving a 90% reduction in transport emissions by 2050.
- The customisable electrolyser can range in capacity from 100kW to 5MW, with further expansion potential to 20MW, providing flexibility for meeting green energy demands in the maritime sector.
The Port of Klaipėda in Lithuania is set to make significant strides in green hydrogen production with the installation of a PEM electrolyser by IMI. This initiative, positioning the port as a pioneer in the Baltic region, will enable the production of 500kg of green hydrogen per day on-site, reducing the necessity for hydrogen transportation and storage. The electrolyser, to be developed by MT Group, will draw 3 MW of electricity from sustainable sources to produce 127 tons of green hydrogen annually, which will be used to fuel vessels and shore-side equipment. The project aligns with the European Green Deal's goals of reducing transport emissions significantly by 2050. IMI's offering of a customisable electrolyser, with capacity ranging from 100kW to 5MW and potential expansion to 20MW, highlights the versatility and scalability of this green energy solution in meeting the maritime sector's environmental targets.
