- EDGE Navigation’s LH2 ships are expected to begin operations in 2028, prompting the early development of supporting infrastructure in Rotterdam.
- Liquid hydrogen will join ammonia and LOHC in Rotterdam’s energy portfolio, reinforcing the port’s role in the evolving hydrogen value chain.
At the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, the Port of Rotterdam Authority and EDGE Navigation signed a Letter of Intent to collaborate on building a liquid hydrogen infrastructure for the maritime sector. EDGE Navigation is working on cargo ships and an LH2 tanker powered by liquid hydrogen, according to the report published by port of Rotterdam.
Building Liquid Hydrogen Infrastructure in Rotterdam
The Port of Rotterdam and EDGE Navigation are working together to prepare for the import and distribution of liquid hydrogen. Their goal is to understand the needed policies, procedures, and regulations for both ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship transfers. This effort supports the arrival of EDGE’s LH2 vessels, expected in 2028.
Rotterdam’s hydrogen network is growing. With the addition of liquid hydrogen to existing options like ammonia and LOHC, the port’s energy mix is getting stronger. A reliable value chain with active involvement from key stakeholders is vital for decarbonizing shipping and industry.
