Norway’s Höegh LNG has inked a deal with German terminal operator Deutsche ReGas to develop a hydrogen import terminal in the industrial port of Lubmin on the German Baltic Sea coast.
The terminal, planned to be in operation from early 2026, will be the world’s first floating import terminal for the industrial-scale conversion of green ammonia to green hydrogen, Deutsche ReGas, the operator of the only two privately financed LNG terminals in Germany, said.
It will produce around 30,000 tons of hydrogen per year that will be fed into the network via the existing feed-in point at the Deutsche ReGas terminal in Lubmin.
Under the deal Höegh LNG will provide the green ammonia cracker technology embedded into the barge solution while Deutsche ReGas will be responsible for the onshore terminal infrastructure, the overall coordination of the entire project, including permitting and the marketing of the import capacities at the terminal.
“Importing hydrogen from global producers overseas is key to achieving industrial decarbonisation. By adapting existing marine infrastructure elements with our innovative cracking solution, we can provide access to cost-competitive hydrogen within the next few years. The expertise, technology and infrastructure elements are already existing,” said Erik Nyheim, CEO in Höegh LNG.
