Port of Rotterdam Authority, Koole Terminals, Chiyoda Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation have signed an agreement to a joint study on the feasibility of a commercial-scale import of hydrogen from overseas sources, to one of Koole’s terminals in the port of Rotterdam utilizing Chiyoda’s proven hydrogen storage and transportation technology SPERA Hydrogen.

Northwest – Europe will have to import hydrogen on a large scale to become net zero CO2 emission.  The Port of Rotterdam Authority is, therefore, looking at ways to set up new hydrogen supply chains from countries where hydrogen can be produced and supplied cost-effectively.  Several companies in Rotterdam, such as Koole Terminals, are interested in this rapidly developing new business and are making plans to innovate their existing facilities or build new ones.  The Port of Rotterdam Authority is supporting such activities.

The Port of Rotterdam Authority, Koole Terminals, Chiyoda Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation, are conducting a joint study on the large-scale import of hydrogen  The Port of Rotterdam Authority will provide a matchmaking role for major hydrogen end-users in Northwest Europe and competitive oversea hydrogen suppliers and support for materializing the project.

The feasibility study is expected to take one year.
