Port of Klaipėda nears launch of green hydrogen output
In the UK, Port Technology International reported that he Port of Klaipėda State Seaport Authority has reached the final stage of its green hydrogen station project, with a construction completion certificate now issued.
Production is expected to begin in the coming weeks, marking Lithuania’s entry into port-based hydrogen supply, according to the report.
Algis Latakas, Chief Executive Officer of Klaipėda State Seaport Authority, said: “Less than a year ago, we started a journey into completely new territory, aiming to bring green hydrogen to Lithuania. Today, we have clear proof that this goal is within reach – we have received the construction completion certificate.
“Very soon, the first drop of green hydrogen will be produced, and both a vessel and a car will be fueled with this environmentally friendly energy. The Port of Klaipėda will soon become the first producer of green hydrogen in Lithuania and among the Baltic states, as well as a creator and part of a new sustainable fuel ecosystem.”
Final installation works are currently underway at the site, with commissioning and initial testing expected shortly. Full operational status is planned for mid-year, including fuel supply for both maritime and land transport applications, the report added.
