Lithuania's First Green Hydrogen Station in Port of Klaipeda
Key Ideas
- MT Group and Klaipeda State Seaport Authority partner to develop a €10.5m green hydrogen production and refuelling station in the Port of Klaipeda.
- The station, equipped with a PEM electrolyser, aims to produce 500kg of hydrogen per day for port operations, rail and road transport, and potentially refueling commercial ships, contributing to sustainable energy solutions.
- The project aligns with the Port of Klaipeda's commitment to green technologies, addressing climate change, and positioning itself as a leader in the Baltic region for hydrogen initiatives.
- Lithuania's focus on clean energy includes plans for the 2,500km Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor, which by 2040 aims to transport up to 2.7 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually across multiple countries.
MT Group and Lithuania’s Klaipeda State Seaport Authority have agreed to develop a green hydrogen production and refuelling station in the Port of Klaipeda. The €10.5m project will see the installation of a PEM electrolyser with a production capacity of 3MW, expected to produce 500kg of hydrogen per day. The hydrogen will be stored in stationary tanks and utilized for port operations, rail and road transport, and potentially for refueling commercial ships. CEO Mindaugas Zakaras praised the Port of Klaipeda's dedication to sustainable energy. Algis Latakas, General Director of the Seaport Authority, expressed the importance of green hydrogen in reducing environmental impact and advancing clean energy in Lithuania and Europe. The project is part of the region's focus on green technologies, with plans for the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor to transport significant amounts of green hydrogen by 2040.
