Setting Sail with Green Hydrogen: Port of Klaipeda to Lead Baltic Region's Energy Transition
Key Ideas
  • IMI, a UK-based company, will supply a PEM electrolyzer for a new hydrogen production and refueling station at the Port of Klaipeda, making it the first in the Baltic region to produce green hydrogen on-site.
  • The project, led by EPC contractor MT Group, aims to produce 500 kg of green hydrogen daily, contributing to the reduction of transport emissions and aligning with the European Green Deal's targets.
  • With a total value of €10.5 million, the initiative will help the port achieve emission reduction goals and support the marine sector in meeting EU's stringent environmental standards.
  • The on-site green hydrogen production will enable the port to reduce the need for transportation and storage of hydrogen, showcasing a commitment to sustainable practices and driving the energy transition in the region.
The Port of Klaipeda in Lithuania is taking significant steps towards establishing the region's first green hydrogen station, as IMI, a UK-based engineering company, has been chosen to supply a PEM electrolyzer for the project. This initiative, led by EPC contractor MT Group, aims to enable the port to produce 500 kg of green hydrogen daily, equating to 127 tons per year, using sustainable sources for its electrical input. The €10.5 million project is essential for the port to achieve its emission reduction targets as outlined in the European Green Deal, which requires significant cuts in transport emissions by 2050. By choosing on-site production, the port can minimize the transportation and storage needs of hydrogen, thereby reducing associated emissions. IMI highlighted that this move will not only benefit the environment but also support the maritime sector in meeting strict EU standards. The partnership between IMI, MT Group, and the Seaport Authority reflects a joint commitment to accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen in the Baltic region. This project not only signifies a technological advancement but also underscores the port's dedication to sustainable practices and driving the region's energy transition.
