Höegh Evi has partnered with Port-La Nouvelle in France to establish a hydrogen import terminal at the port, positioning France as a pivotal player in Europe's hydrogen energy market. This initiative aims to import hydrogen primarily from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Americas, with a target of boosting Europe's clean energy capabilities by 2030. The CEO of Höegh Evi, Erik Nyheim, highlighted the strategic location of Port-La Nouvelle, emphasizing the importance of accelerating clean energy access in Europe to meet the continent's energy needs. The project aligns with European hydrogen initiatives and includes plans to connect to Teréga's pipeline network for efficient hydrogen distribution. The collaboration with Port-La Nouvelle aims to import up to 210,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually by 2030. SEMOP Port-La Nouvelle's CEO, Hans Kerstens, expressed the port's readiness to support the green energy transition, noting recent investments to meet new energy demands, particularly in hydrogen. Feasibility studies and design assessments are underway to ensure Port-La Nouvelle can accommodate the necessary infrastructure for the hydrogen import terminal. This joint effort between Höegh Evi and Port-La Nouvelle signifies a step towards a sustainable energy future for the Occitanie region and the broader European market.
