Green hydrogen corridor between Algeciras and Rotterdam

Cepsa and the Port of Rotterdam are to work together to establish the first green hydrogen corridor between southern and northern Europe, ensuring a green hydrogen supply chain between two of Europe’s main ports, Rotterdam and Algeciras. The co-operation is part of Rotterdam’s ambition to supply Northwest Europe with 4.6m tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030.

Cepsa plans to export hydrogen produced at its San Roque Energy Park near the Bay of Algeciras, through hydrogen carriers such as ammonia or methanol, to the Port of Rotterdam with the trade lane expected to be operational by 2027. Cepsa also intends to develop a similar supply chain from its La Rabida Energy Park in Huelva.

Rotterdam has plenty of other significant green initiatives signed of late, including a green corridor agreement with Singapore.
