Höegh Evi: Spearheading Hydrogen Import Terminals for Energy Transition in France and Germany
Key Ideas
- Höegh Evi in collaboration with Port-La Nouvelle aims to develop a floating hydrogen import terminal with a capacity of up to 210,000 tonnes annually by 2030.
- The terminal will connect to major hydrogen transport infrastructures and contribute to the port's transformation into an energy transition hub, opening in early 2026.
- Höegh Evi also plans to establish a hydrogen import terminal in Lubmin, Germany by early 2026, focusing on green ammonia to green hydrogen conversion, producing 30,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year.
- Both projects highlight the strategic positioning of the ports to facilitate the entry of hydrogen and low-carbon fuels, emphasizing a positive outlook for the future of hydrogen energy.
Norway's Höegh Evi, formerly known as Höegh LNG, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with the port of Port-La Nouvelle in France to establish a floating hydrogen import terminal targeting significant volumes from various regions by 2030. This initiative, part of the energy transition efforts, involves partnerships with European projects like HySoW Hydrogen and Teréga gas pipeline operator. The port, set to be operational from early 2026, is undergoing construction to support this venture. The CEO of SEMOP Port-La Nouvelle expressed enthusiasm for accommodating renewable energy-related traffic, particularly hydrogen molecules. Höegh Evi's president highlighted Port-La Nouvelle's strategic location to foster hydrogen and low-carbon fuels. Additionally, Höegh Evi has plans to develop a hydrogen import terminal in Lubmin, Germany, focusing on green ammonia conversion to green hydrogen. These projects signify a positive shift towards sustainable energy practices and highlight the crucial role of ports in facilitating the import of hydrogen for industrial-scale applications.
