Klaipėda State Seaport Authority has reached the final stage of its green hydrogen station project. Production is expected to begin in the coming weeks, marking Lithuania's entry into port-based hydrogen supply.
Algis Latakas, Chief Executive Officer of Klaipėda State Seaport Authority, said: "Less than a year ago we started a journey into completely new territory, aiming to bring green hydrogen to Lithuania. Today we have clear proof that this goal is within reach — we have received the construction completion certificate." Very soon the first drop of green hydrogen will be produced and both a vessel and a car will be fuelled with this environmentally friendly energy.
Final installation works are under way on site, with commissioning and initial testing expected shortly. Full operational status is planned for mid-year including fuel supply for both maritime and land transport, making the Port of Klaipėda Lithuania's first green hydrogen producer and among the pioneers in the Baltic states.
