World's First Liquid Hydrogen Import Corridor to Connect Oman, Netherlands, and Germany
Key Ideas
  • A joint development agreement has been signed to create the world's first liquid hydrogen import corridor connecting Oman, Netherlands, and Germany.
  • The corridor will enable the commercial-scale import of renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO) compliant liquid hydrogen to Europe, utilizing advanced technologies for its storage and distribution.
  • Key components of the agreement include the development of centralised liquefaction and storage facilities at the port of Duqm, discussions on pricing and delivery logistics, and the construction of dedicated infrastructure across the corridor.
  • The use of proven technologies and advanced vessel designs is expected to reduce unit freight costs significantly while ensuring net zero boil-off during marine transportation.
A new joint development agreement (JDA) has been signed to establish the world's first liquid hydrogen import corridor, connecting the Sultanate of Oman, the Netherlands, and Germany. This corridor aims to facilitate the commercial-scale import of renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO) compliant liquid hydrogen into Europe. The supply chain will incorporate advanced technologies for liquefaction, transport, storage, and distribution of the liquid hydrogen. The agreement includes the development of centralised liquefaction and storage facilities in Duqm, pricing and delivery discussions, and the creation of dedicated infrastructure across the corridor. Partners involved in the project expect the use of advanced vessel designs and proven technologies to reduce freight costs significantly while ensuring net zero boil-off during transportation.
