Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has announced a pioneering partnership to establish the world's first import corridor for liquid hydrogen, connecting Oman to Europe. This development follows a Joint Development Agreement signed during a state visit by the Sultan of Oman to the Netherlands, involving eleven partners including Hydrom, OQ, Tata Steel Nederland, and Hynetwork. The project aims to transport green hydrogen along a dedicated corridor to key European hubs, such as Amsterdam and Duisburg, enabling the efficient distribution of this crucial energy source. Annette Walter, CFO of HHLA, emphasized the significance of liquid hydrogen's transport independence, making it suitable for various industries. The plans also include the construction of a hub in Duqm for hydrogen liquefaction, storage, and shipping to Amsterdam via specialized liquid hydrogen ships. HHLA will leverage its infrastructure expertise to establish distribution networks via pipelines, railways, and inland waterways. The initiative aligns with HHLA's commitment to climate neutrality by 2040, emphasizing the efficient transportation of hydrogen to end consumers in Germany and Europe. Patrick Zimmermann from Fraunhofer CML highlighted Hamburg's pivotal role in future green energy imports for Germany, with the city set to become a key player in facilitating the sea-bound import of significant hydrogen quantities. This groundbreaking project signifies a major step towards sustainable and efficient hydrogen transport in Europe, marking a significant milestone in the global shift towards cleaner energy sources.
