Lithuania is making strides in sustainable energy with the development of its first green hydrogen production and refuelling station at the Port of Klaipeda. This project, led by MT Group in collaboration with the Klaipeda State Seaport Authority, will mark a significant milestone for the Baltic region. With a budget of €10.5 million, the hydrogen station will not only contribute to Lithuania’s clean energy transition but also align with European climate goals.
Hydrogen Production at Klaipeda: Cutting-Edge Technology
The station will use a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer to generate green hydrogen through electrolysis. The system will require up to 3 MW of renewable electricity and produce 500 kg of hydrogen per day, which adds up to 127 tons annually. Advanced storage infrastructure will be deployed with high-pressure tanks capable of storing hydrogen at 550 and 1000 bar, ensuring a seamless supply.
Strategic Impact on Regional Transport and Industry
The hydrogen station is expected to fuel various sectors, including port operations, rail, and road transport. In the future, the facility aims to refuel commercial vessels that increasingly rely on alternative fuels. The project aligns with Lithuania’s broader energy strategy, fostering hydrogen technology adoption to reduce fossil fuel dependence and enhance sustainability across industries.
MT Group’s Role and Broader Sustainability Vision
MT Group, a leading EPC contractor, is responsible for designing, installing, and commissioning the hydrogen facility. The company will leverage state-of-the-art technology and safety measures to maintain the station’s performance and ensure hydrogen purity of 99.99%. Through this project and others, MT Group continues to strengthen its role in Europe’s energy transition and the global push for decarbonization.
This initiative sets the stage for Lithuania to emerge as a leader in green hydrogen within the Baltic region, serving as a model for sustainable innovation.
