Industrial gas company Air Products has announced the launch of an Open Season to assess market interest for booking long-term capacity at its planned renewable hydrogen terminal in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The renewable hydrogen terminal will feature capacity for importing ammonia and dissociating it to hydrogen, creating a strategic infrastructure link between renewable energy-rich regions and European markets. Air Products plans to construct the facility at the Gunvor site in Europoort Rotterdam, leveraging the location’s advantages for both renewable ammonia imports and hydrogen distribution into the European hinterland.
The company has identified the beginning of 2028 as the planned startup date for the terminal, contingent upon securing necessary regulatory approvals and making a final investment decision on the project.
The Europoort Rotterdam location offers strategic advantages for the renewable hydrogen supply chain, providing an optimal position for importing renewable ammonia produced in wind and solar energy-rich areas globally. The site’s connectivity also facilitates the efficient transit of renewable hydrogen into European inland markets, supporting the continent’s growing demand for clean energy alternatives.
Open Season Process
Air Products has initiated the market consultation process by inviting interested parties to participate in the Open Season, which will help determine commercial viability and capacity requirements for the proposed terminal. Market participants can indicate their interest by submitting an email to OPSEASON@airproducts.com with “Open Season” in the subject line.
The company has committed to maintaining confidentiality of all participant information throughout the process. Upon receiving initial expressions of interest, Air Products will send confirmation of receipt along with a registration pack detailing the requirements for formal participation in the Open Season.
Interested parties must complete their registration by June 27, 2025, to participate in the capacity booking process. This timeline allows sufficient time for potential customers to evaluate their long-term hydrogen requirements and assess the terminal’s fit within their supply chain strategies.
