World’s First Floating Hydrogen Import Terminal: A Green Energy Breakthrough!
Höegh LNG and Deutsche ReGas have signed a groundbreaking agreement to develop the world’s first floating hydrogen import terminal, operational by 2026.
This cutting-edge terminal will use Höegh LNG’s Ammonia-to-Hydrogen Cracker Technology, embedded in a barge system, to convert green ammonia to green hydrogen.
The terminal will produce approximately 30,000 tons of hydrogen annually, feeding it into Germany’s core network via an existing feed-in point at Lubmin port.
This project strengthens Germany’s position as a leader in green energy, particularly in decarbonising industrial regions in Eastern and Southern Germany.
Deutsche ReGas will manage the onshore terminal infrastructure, project management, permits, and market import capacities, ensuring a smooth operation.
The pilot project for the Ammonia-to-Hydrogen Cracker is being built in Stord, Norway, in collaboration with Wärtsilä, BASF, and other key partners.
The initiative aims to provide Germany with clean, low-cost hydrogen, accelerating the country’s efforts towards decarbonisation and green energy transition.
