EcoLog has taken an important step in the development of a liquid hydrogen import terminal in the Port of Amsterdam. This week, the company signed an agreement in Tokyo with a group of technology partners that will supply equipment for both the future import terminal and the vessels that will transport the hydrogen. The signing took place in the presence of the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Japan, H.E. Gilles Beschoor Plug.

The Executive Board of the City of Amsterdam intends to contribute €4 million to the development of the local hydrogen network for the Port of Amsterdam area: H2avennet.

The Port of Amsterdam and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance a transatlantic green hydrogen corridor, connecting Eastern Canada’s production potential with Europe’s growing demand for clean energy.

A groundbreaking Joint Development Agreement (JDA) has been signed to establish the world’s first liquid hydrogen import corridor, connecting the Sultanate of Oman, the Netherlands, and Germany. This corridor will link the port of Duqm in Oman, the port of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and key logistics hubs in Germany, including the port of Duisburg in Germany, enabling the commercial-scale import of renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO) compliant liquid hydrogen to Europe.
