EBARA Corporation (hereinafter “EBARA”) has formed a strategic consortium with EcoLog Services Ltd. (Headquarters: Greece; hereinafter “EcoLog”), a midstream solution provider for liquid hydrogen, along with TB Global Technologies Co., Ltd., Kobe Steel, Ltd., and Fukui Seisakusho Co., Ltd. This consortium aims to realize commercial-scale imports of liquid hydrogen to Europe through research and technological development in Japan and the establishment of an import terminal in the Netherlands.
Forming a consortium to facilitate liquid hydrogen imports to Europe
1. Background and Objectives
EBARA aims to contribute to the realization of a hydrogen society, which is essential for building a sustainable future. We are leveraging our group-wide technologies and businesses across the entire hydrogen supply chain—encompassing “Production, Transport, and End-Use” of hydrogen.
This consortium aims to establish a dedicated liquid hydrogen transport network to the EcoLog New Energy Terminal at the Port of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
EBARA will supply liquid hydrogen pumps for both vessels and land-based facilities within this consortium. This will enable the safe and efficient transfer of liquid hydrogen during key supply chain processes—loading (filling), maritime transport, and unloading into onshore tanks—contributing to the establishment of a stable supply network.
2. Future Developments
Through its partnership with this consortium, EBARA will help establish a safe and efficient supply chain system for liquid hydrogen.
Furthermore, leveraging the insights gained from this initiative, EBARA will actively seek collaboration with various companies and organizations dedicated to building a hydrogen society. This approach will enable EBARA to contribute to the realization of a hydrogen society on a global scale.
