IMI Partners with MT Group to Transform Port of Klaipėda with Green Hydrogen Electrolyser
Key Ideas
- IMI and MT Group collaborate to introduce the region's first green hydrogen electrolyser at the Port of Klaipėda, enhancing sustainability and reducing emissions.
- The electrolyser will enable on-site production of 500kg of green hydrogen daily, supporting the decarbonization needs of transport and power sectors.
- IMI's VIVO Electrolyser provides full customization options, meeting specific project requirements and offering scalability up to 20MW through modular configuration.
- The partnership reflects a commitment to accelerate the use of green hydrogen in the Baltic region, aligning with the EU's stringent targets for emissions reduction.
MT Group, a prominent EPC contractor in Europe, collaborates with IMI to deploy the first green hydrogen electrolyser in the region at the Port of Klaipėda, Lithuania. This initiative aligns with the shift towards sustainable engineering and the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors like transport and power. The electrolyser, named IMI VIVO, is designed to produce 500kg of green hydrogen per day using 3 MW of electricity from sustainable sources, contributing to emission reduction by minimizing the need for hydrogen transportation. As part of the European Green Deal, ports are mandated to significantly reduce transport emissions by 2050, driving the adoption of greener solutions like green hydrogen. The electrolyser's flexibility in size and capacity, ranging from 100kW to 5MW with potential expansion to 20MW, allows tailored solutions to meet project requirements effectively. This customization capability attracted MT Group and the Klaipėda State Seaport Authority, emphasizing the importance of adaptable and scalable hydrogen technologies. The collaboration between IMI, MT Group, and the Seaport Authority highlights a shared commitment to accelerating the use of green hydrogen and achieving emissions reductions in key industries, in line with EU directives and sustainability goals.
