Industry players team up to proceed with first clean hydrogen shipment across the Atlantic

The Mission Possible Partnership (MPP), RMI, Systemiq, Power2X, and other industry leaders have joined forces to promote and facilitate the delivery of the first clean hydrogen shipment from the United States to Europe by 2026.

By 2030, the Transatlantic Clean Hydrogen Trade Coalition (H2TC) aims to allow the movement of more than three million metric tons of hydrogen in the form of ammonia and methanol along this corridor. The Center for Houston’s Future, the Port of Corpus Christi, and the Port of Rotterdam Authority are among the coalition’s partners.

According to a statement, the announcement comes about a year and a half after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and subsequent energy crisis, which had a significant impact on European heavy industry.

In addition, H2TC aspires to make a substantial contribution to the EU’s target of importing 10 million metric tons of renewable hydrogen per year by 2030. Clean hydrogen is an important replacement for fossil fuels in critical industries such as fertilizer production and steelmaking, and its derivatives are the leading alternative to extremely polluting bunker fuel in marine trade.

“Rotterdam is Europe’s main import hub for crude, oil products and coal. We’re rapidly becoming Europe’s hydrogen hub as well,” said Nico van Dooren, director of New Business & Portfolio Management at the Port of Rotterdam Authority.

He added, “For the last three years we’ve been scouting the world for green hydrogen, and Texas is one of the most promising locations to export substantial volumes of this renewable energy to Rotterdam within a few years’ time.”
