Building Europe's First Liquid Hydrogen Corridor: A Game-Changer in Sustainable Energy Transportation
Key Ideas
  • The port of Amsterdam aims to establish a liquid hydrogen corridor by 2030s to transport renewable liquid hydrogen from Oman to the Netherlands and Germany for industrial use, focusing on low-carbon chemicals and steel.
  • Ecolog, a Greek hydrogen logistics company, plans to build a terminal in Amsterdam capable of receiving 200,000 tonnes of liquid hydrogen annually, with operations set to commence by 2029.
  • Oman's Hydrom is leading the way in producing green hydrogen cheaply using wind and solar energy, making the production cost significantly lower than in Europe, paving the way for a cost-effective hydrogen supply chain.
  • The project includes synergies with Ecolog's carbon-liquefaction initiative, where the chill released during hydrogen re-gasification will be used to liquefy captured CO2 from Tata Steel's steelworks, contributing to carbon capture and storage efforts.
The Netherlands, a major importer of LNG, is gearing up to revolutionize its energy imports by introducing a liquid hydrogen corridor by the 2030s. Partnering with the port of Amsterdam, a consortium is working to transport renewable liquid hydrogen from Oman to Europe for industrial applications. Ecolog, a prominent player in hydrogen logistics, plans to construct a terminal in Amsterdam to handle sizeable quantities of liquid hydrogen, with operations expected to begin by 2029. Leveraging Oman's expertise in producing green hydrogen cost-effectively with renewable energy sources, the project aims to establish a cost-efficient hydrogen supply chain connecting the cheapest hydrogen-producing regions globally. The initiative also integrates carbon capture and storage efforts, with the released chill from hydrogen re-gasification utilized to liquefy captured CO2 from Tata Steel's steelworks. Ecolog's ambitious plans extend beyond Oman, intending to ship liquid hydrogen from Norway, Saudi Arabia, and Spain, marking a significant advancement in hydrogen transportation. The project signifies a giant leap in sustainable energy transportation, innovation, and low-carbon industry initiatives, paving the way for a greener future.
