A consortium has signed an MOU for a joint initiative and mutual cooperation on the production and import of green hydrogen and green ammonia into Europe via Rotterdam, as well as export thereof from selected locations worldwide.

The consortium (Transhydrogen Alliance), comprised of Proton Ventures BV, Trammo DMCC and VARO, is supported by the Port of Rotterdam Authority, especially in its effort to set up an import terminal in Rotterdam for these new supply chains, and intends to start its collaboration with an initial project for the production of green hydrogen produced from solar and wind rich areas and the import of such hydrogen in the form of green ammonia into Europe.

The initial project is expected to be completed by 2024.

Following success of the initial project, Transhydrogen Alliance targets the import up to 500,000 t of green hydrogen equivalent to up to 2.5 MMt of green ammonia per year via the Port of Rotterdam.

Transhydrogen Alliance offers a fully integrated team in the green hydrogen and green ammonia supply chain with knowledge and experience in technology, logistics and sales. Pricing is expected to be competitive compared to that of other supply chains for hydrogen production based on renewable energy.
