In the UK, Riviera reported that German LNG terminal operator Deutsche ReGas has completed the front-end engineering and design phase for its planned hydrogen hub in Lubmin.
The project, known as H2-Hub Lubmin, started in September 2023. Deutsche ReGas has signed an agreement in principle with Norwegian company Höegh LNG to realize a floating hydrogen import terminal in Lubmin, creating a large-scale electrolysis plant which will use renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, the report stated.
The report added that Höegh has developed green ammonia cracker technology embedded into a barge, which serves as an industrial pilot for converting and decarbonising FSRUs in Germany.
Deutsche ReGas will provide the onshore terminal infrastructure and co-ordinate the entire project.
The two-phase project will first focus on constructing a 200-MW electrolyzer plant by the end of 2026, intending to produce up to 30,000 tons of green hydrogen annually.
The report explained that phase two will see the capacity gradually expanded to 500 MW by 2028, with an estimated production of up to 80,000 tons of green hydrogen annually.
