Securing Energy For Europe (SEFE) and marine infrastructure provider Höegh Evi have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly develop international supply chains for clean hydrogen.

The collaboration aims to deliver clean hydrogen to Germany and other European locations, focusing on ammonia-based supply chains.

SEFE chief scientific officer Hamead Ahrary stated: “In our relentless quest to provide our customers with competitive clean hydrogen, we are pleased to be partnering with Höegh Evi to explore the technical and economic viability of different supply chain opportunities.

“With Höegh Evi’s pioneering technology in the field of floating import terminals including the cracking of ammonia to hydrogen within the terminal and the deep customer understanding we have gained over the last decades, we have the best conditions to develop international clean hydrogen supply chains to make the energy transition a reality.”

The agreement’s objective is to implement international supply chains for clean hydrogen.

This encompasses the sourcing of ammonia, its transportation by ship and its delivery to floating import terminals.

At the terminals, ammonia will be cracked into hydrogen for delivery to SEFE customers via the German hydrogen core grid.

Höegh Evi CEO Erik Nyheim stated: “Establishing global supply chains for hydrogen is a major step towards advancing the energy transition in Germany and Europe. SEFE is leading the way by investing in the German hydrogen core grid and developing global and local partnerships for the production, sourcing and supply of cost-competitive clean hydrogen for Germany and Europe.

“Höegh Evi is proud to contribute to this endeavour with its world-leading expertise in floating infrastructure and unique hydrogen terminal solutions. In Germany and across Europe, we are developing infrastructure that creates new pathways to decarbonisation via global market corridors for clean hydrogen.”

The cooperation will also explore potential sites for floating ammonia-to-hydrogen terminals along Germany’s Baltic and North Sea coasts, as well as other European locations.

SEFE will oversee the upstream supply portfolio and the downstream supply chain, including global sourcing and hydrogen demand aggregation in Germany and Europe.

Höegh Evi will provide midstream infrastructure, connecting Germany with international hydrogen markets.

This includes the transportation of ammonia by ship and the floating import terminal infrastructure.

The terminals will supply dispatchable and baseload-ready clean hydrogen for industrial customers using Höegh Evi’s ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker.
