Masdar, one of the world’s leading clean
energy companies, Port of Amsterdam, SkyNRG and Zenith Energy Terminals
have signed a Joint Study Agreement (JSA) to assess the feasibility of a
dedicated liquefied green hydrogen supply chain for Masdar produced
hydrogen to the port of Amsterdam. The new Agreement follows the
Memorandum of Understanding signed earlier this year between Masdar and
four Dutch companies, according to the company's release.
Under this JSA, the parties will join
their efforts to study a liquefied green hydrogen supply chain, focusing
on production by Masdar and export to the port of Amsterdam to provide
hydrogen to regional industries, as well as the European hinterland.
Masdar has announced its goal of
achieving 100 GW renewable energy capacity and green hydrogen production
of 1 million tonnes per annum annually by 2030. Masdar is actively
involved in a number of projects related to green hydrogen production.
As Europe’s fourth-largest port and as a
gateway to the European market, the port of Amsterdam is one of the
envisioned prime destinations for Masdar produced hydrogen. As the
port’s operator, Port of Amsterdam is committed to scaling up green
hydrogen capabilities and it works side by side with commercial parties
active in its port on green hydrogen development.
Zenith Energy Terminals is the operator
of one of the most prominent energy storage and distribution facilities
in the port of Amsterdam. The company is developing an open access
liquid hydrogen import facility in Amsterdam, focusing on providing
hydrogen producers access to Dutch and European hydrogen markets. Its
liquid hydrogen terminal facilitates the importation, storage,
distribution and regasification of liquid hydrogen in Amsterdam.
With these combined capabilities, the
partners to the JSA feature an end-to-end supply chain, with liquefied
hydrogen presenting a concrete opportunity to ship green hydrogen from
Masdar’s production facilities for offtake and subsequent conversion to
e-SAF by SkyNRG in the port of Amsterdam.
This Joint Study
Agreement is the second agreement we signed at COP28. Both agreements
are aimed at developing green hydrogen corridors, for transporting
hydrogen in liquid form.
