Transhydrogen Alliance to bring Green Hydrogen and Ammonia to the European Market via Port of Rotterdam.
Proton Ventures BV, an engineering and development company in the Netherlands, Dubai-based Trammo DMCC, a subsidiary of Trammo Inc., a leading global commodities merchandising and trading company and market leader in anhydrous ammonia, and VARO, an European mid- and downstream energy company, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) for a joint initiative and mutual cooperation on the production and import of green hydrogen and green ammonia into Europe via Rotterdam, as well as export thereof from selected locations worldwide. The Port of Rotterdam Authority supports this consortium, especially in its effort to set up an import terminal in Rotterdam for these new supply chains.
The consortium of parties (collectively, “Transhydrogen Alliance”) intends to start its collaboration with an initial project for the production of green hydrogen produced from solar and wind rich areas and the import of such hydrogen in the form of green ammonia into Europe. The initial project is expected to be completed by 2024.
Following success of the initial project, “Transhydrogen Alliance” targets the import up to 500,000 tonnes of green hydrogen equivalent to up to 2.5 million tonnes green ammonia per year via the Port of Rotterdam.
