Norwegian FSRU player Hoegh Evi, previously known as Hoegh LNG, is joining forces with German gas importer Securing Energy for Europe (SEFE) to develop floating ammonia-to-hydrogen terminals along Germany’s Baltic ...
On the other hand, Hoegh Evi will provide the midstream infrastructure to connect Germany with international hydrogen markets including the transportation of ammonia by ship and the floating import terminal infrastructure.
Hoegh Evi said the terminals will provide a supply of “dispatchable and baseload-ready clean hydrogen for industrial customers using Höegh Evi’s ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker, the world’s only floating solution to convert ammonia to hydrogen at an industrial scale.”
Focus beyond LNG import terminals
Hoegh’s fleet comprises ten FSRUs and three LNG carriers.
The entire fleet is operating under long-term contracts, except the LNG carrier Hoegh Gandria which is currently employed on a short-term LNGC contract ending in the fourth quarter of 2024.
In September 2024, Hoegh LNG changed its name to Hoegh Evi to reflect the recent expansion of Hoegh’s focus beyond LNG import terminals.
The firm signed a memorandum in November last year with the French port of Port-La Nouvelle to develop a floating terminal for hydrogen imports.
The terminal will facilitate the import of up to 210,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year as early as 2030, according to the project timeline and dependent on the readiness of France’s hydrogen pipeline.
Hoegh and German LNG terminal operator Deutsche ReGas also signed a deal to develop a floating hydrogen import terminal in the German port of Lubmin.
The partners claim this terminal will be the world’s first floating import terminal for the industrial-scale conversion of green ammonia to green hydrogen.
