Last Friday, Ramon Ernst (managing director Evos) and Eduard de Visser (director strategy & innovation Port of Amsterdam), on behalf of the H2A consortium, handed over the blueprint for the import of one million tons of green hydrogen via the port of Amsterdam to Diederik Samsom, Head of Cabinet of Vice President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans.

In the presence of a large international group of frontrunners in the field of the hydrogen economy, alderman Victor Everhardt of Economic Affairs of the Municipality of Amsterdam launched the Hydrogen Hub at the World Hydrogen Congress.

Hydrogen will play an important role in our future energy system. In the documentary 'Hydrogen, our new energy', presenter Anic van Damme goes on a voyage of discovery into the status of hydrogen in the Netherlands. What is already possible? What challenges and solutions are there?

The growing demand for climate-neutral hydrogen creates the necessity for the market to work properly and for transparent, efficient pricing. A hydrogen exchange will be able to facilitate both. The new hydrogen exchange will be called HyXchange.

With less than 100 days to go until the postponed Olympic Games in Tokyo, the leaders of Nederland Waterstofland are seizing the moment to draw attention to the strength of the Netherlands as a hydrogen country.

Port of Amsterdam and tank storage company Evos aim to import large volumes of green hydrogen into the Amsterdam port. Together with three specialised hydrogen companies, will investigate the feasibility of large scale imports, drawing up a blueprint and outlining a roadmap towards 2030 and beyond. The five parties expect hydrogen to play a central role in the transition to a sustainable energy system. This transition is necessary if we are to meet the European target of becoming climate-neutral by 2050.
The Amsterdam port area is well positioned to play an important role in this transition.
