Energy infrastructure company Gasunie and Dutch tank terminals group Vopak are teaming up to develop hydrogen imports for Europe.

The two companies said the idea is to establish future terminal projects at Dutch and German ports.

Gasunie and Vopak already cooperate at the Gate LNG facility in Port of Rotterdam that came into operation in 2011.

They believe that, alongside domestic production of hydrogen, large-scale import of the green gas will become essential for reaching the European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 decarbonisation targets.
