Developed by EcoLog, a venture set up to build and operate liquid hydrogen infrastructure, the “EcoLog Terminal Amsterdam” will also produce liquid carbon dioxide (LCO₂) for export using cold energy released during LH₂ regasification.
It will ship imported LH₂ to the surrounding region by water, road, rail and pipelines.
The EU sees renewable hydrogen as a desirable alternative to fossil fuels for transport and energy intensive industry.
By 2030, it wants to achieve local production of 10 million tonnes a year and the importing of a further 10 million tonnes. By 2050, it wants renewable hydrogen to cover around 10% of the bloc’s energy needs.
LCO₂ is used in a range of industrial applications.
EcoLog aims to finish the terminal’s first phase by 2030, by which time it hopes to be importing 200,000 tonnes of LH₂ and exporting 1.8m tonnes LCO₂. It sees that throughput eventually expanding to 600,000 tonnes of LH₂ imported and 4.25 million tonnes of LCO₂ exported.
EcoLog’s chief executive Ellen Ruhotas said the terminal “seeks to make a large contribution to the decarbonisation of sectors like steel manufacturing, heavy duty road mobility, maritime transport and data centres, among others”.
Claudio Tassistro, Mott MacDonald’s European managing director of energy, said it will “connect hydrogen producers in regions with abundant low cost renewable power to growing demand across Europe”.
Mott MacDonald will oversee planning, design and construction.
US-headquartered engineer KBR has been selected to provide front-end engineering for the terminal. It expects to complete that this year.
