Klaipeda advances ‘unique’ port project

Lithuanian port is first in Baltic region to install electrolyser to supply green hydrogen to maritime and road transport users

The port of Klaipeda in Lithuania is pushing ahead with its plans to build an electrolyser that will serve both maritime and road transport users as well as supporting port operations. The project is the first of its kind in the Baltics and could serve as a model for the decarbonisation of other ports in the future. The 2.25MW facility targets production of 127t/yr at capacity, with construction set to start in June and first hydrogen expected to be delivered in 2026. The €12m ($13.9m) project was awarded €5.7m in EU funding under the NextGeneration EU scheme and will be installed in a standard 40-foot sea container. Lithuania has a target of 1.3GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030. The Europ
