The Port of Klaipeda in Lithuania is set to invest $11.4 million in a pioneering green hydrogen production and refuelling station, marking a first for the Baltic States. With aspirations to lead in green technology in the region, Klaipeda has partnered with MT Group to handle the project, which is expected to kick off construction next year. The green hydrogen will be generated through electrolysis using a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser. MT Group, known for its work on critical energy and industrial projects across Europe, will oversee everything from design to installation, along with two years of warranty maintenance for the station. The station is anticipated to require up to 3 MW of electricity and will produce around 500 kilograms of hydrogen daily, totaling about 127 tons annually. The hydrogen will be stored in high-pressure tanks for a steady supply, supporting port operations and rail and road transport. Looking ahead, Klaipeda plans to refuel commercial ships as they transition to cleaner fuels. After conducting an environmental impact study, the Port of Klaipeda selected an industrial site near residential buildings, a common practice worldwide for hydrogen production facilities. Currently, Klaipeda holds a 37% market share among Baltic ports and is also investing $13 million in Lithuania's first hydrogen-electric ship, designed for waste management. This 42-meter tanker, being built by Western Baltija Shipbuilding, will be able to collect 400 cubic meters of liquid waste and will feature two electric motors powered by batteries and an on-board hydrogen fuel cell system.
