In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that the main component of the new hydrogen production and refueling station at the Port of Klaipėda in Lithuania – the electrolyzer – has passed factory tests in Italy.
The station, which is expected to start operating next year, will house a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) type electrolyzer, being manufactured at the IMI Remosa plant in Cagliari, Italy.
When operating at full capacity, about 127 tons of green hydrogen are anticipated to be produced annually, part of which is set to be used to power the first vessel in the country driven by green hydrogen, currently nearing completion, according to the report.
The company, which won the public tender announced by the Klaipėda Port Authority, is slated to complete construction by the end of the year. Port of Klaipėda said that once the site is finished, the installation and testing of hydrogen equipment will follow. All construction and installation works are scheduled for completion by February 2026, the report added.
