The electrolyser for the port’s upcoming hydrogen production station was manufactured at the IMI Remosa, the Port of Klaipeda said in an email statement on Monday.
Once online, the station’s polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser will be capable of producing around 127 mt of green hydrogen annually, part of which will fuel Lithuania’s first hydrogen-powered vessel.
The €12 million project – half funded by the European Union’s NextGenerationEU facility – will make Klaipeda the first port in Lithuania and one of the first in the Baltic States to produce and supply green hydrogen.
