Shell, Engie, Anthony Veder and Vopak have agreed to study the feasibility of shipping hydrogen from Portugal to the Netherlands. The new collaboration has indicated the progress for a project that was hit by the exit of Portugal’s two largest energy companies last year.
The companies plan to produce 100 t/d of hydrogen via electrolysis using renewable power at the Portuguese port of Sines from 2027, with the potential to scale this up over time. The hydrogen would be liquefied and shipped to the port of Rotterdam for distribution and sale.
The companies’ agreement to progress towards a feasibility study will help move forward plans outlined by the Netherlands and Portugal to develop a strategic export-import value chain for renewable hydrogen.
The firms have applied for funding for the project through the EU-managed Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) framework.
