Höegh Evi has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SEMOP Port-La Nouvelle, to develop a floating terminal for hydrogen imports. The hydrogen will be imported from producers located in the Middle East, North Africa and the Americas.
The terminal will facilitate the import of up to 210,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year as early as 2030, according to the project timeline, and dependent on the readiness of France’s hydrogen pipeline.
Erik Nyheim, president and CEO of Höegh Evi says: ‘Höegh Evi is leveraging our expertise to enable Europe to import significant volumes of clean molecules within this decade. With its strategic location and well-established marine infrastructure, Port-La Nouvelle is ideally positioned to become a key entry point for hydrogen and low-carbon fuels. Together we are driving the energy transition forward by establishing a crucial hub for clean energy in Europe.’
