Höegh Evi Partners with Port-La Nouvelle for Hydrogen Imports
Key Ideas
  • Norwegian company Höegh Evi and Port-La Nouvelle in France are collaborating to develop a floating terminal for hydrogen imports from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Americas.
  • The partners aim to accelerate Europe's shift to clean energy by establishing a crucial hub for importing large volumes of hydrogen, promoting job growth and strengthening the industrial and energy attractiveness of the Occitanie region.
  • The terminal is expected to facilitate the import of up to 210,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year by 2030, contingent on France's hydrogen pipeline readiness, with plans to conduct a feasibility assessment and design of the infrastructure solution within the port.
  • Additional partnerships in the region, such as the one with Occitanie Region, DEME Concessions NV, Euroports, and Teréga, highlight the commitment to develop essential hubs for low-carbon hydrogen and CO2 management at Port-La Nouvelle, further boosting the hydrogen industry in Europe.
Norwegian clean energy infrastructure solutions provider Höegh Evi has signed a memorandum of understanding with the French port of Port-La Nouvelle to develop a floating terminal for hydrogen imports, sourced from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Americas. This initiative aims to enhance Europe's transition to clean energy by establishing a significant hub for hydrogen imports, with a focus on the Occitanie region's industrial and energy development. The project anticipates importing up to 210,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually by 2030, subject to France's hydrogen pipeline readiness. Collaborations with partners like the Occitanie Region, DEME Concessions NV, Euroports, and Teréga further emphasize the commitment to creating essential hubs for low-carbon hydrogen and CO2 management in the Mediterranean region, positioning Port-La Nouvelle as a key player in the green energy sector.
