LH2 Europe plans to ship hydrogen across the North Sea
Scottish green hydrogen project commissions vessel design
LH2 Europe aims to produce green hydrogen from an electrolyser in Scotland and ship it as a liquid to ports in northwest Europe
A project that aims to export liquefied hydrogen from Scotland to Germany has commissioned a design for a liquefied hydrogen tanker that would be the largest of its kind. LH2 Europe aims to produce 35,000t/yr of green hydrogen from an electrolyser in Scotland and ship it to ports in continental northwest Europe. It has signed a provisional offtake deal with one major port and is in negotiations with a supplier to provide the required renewable power from offshore wind. Negotiations with three providers of finance are also ongoing, and the developers want to reach agreements with a portfolio of three or four offtakers. The developers have completed a feasibility study and will start a full Fe
