Is a green hydrogen transport chain from Morocco to Europe possible?

Renewable energy development company CWP Global and German company for liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies, have signed a MoU for a joint feasibility study this year to explore the possibility of a 500 tons per day hydrogen transport chain from Morocco to Europe using Hydrogenious‘ proven LOHC technology.

Starting point will be the 15 GW AMUN project near the city of Tan Tan in Morocco. This project is focused on producing ammonia locally from green hydrogen, to support the decarbonization of fertilizer and maritime shipping, among others.

„We are very pleased to be partnering with Hydrogenious on this study that will serve to further explore the viability of LOHCs for long-distance shipping of green hydrogen, using our 15 GW AMUN project as a model,“ says Guido Schumacher, Chief Technology Officer at CWP Global.

„CWP Global has a lot of experience in developing and implementing large-scale projects and we are very excited to be working with them,“ adds Dr Andreas Lehmann, Chief Strategy Officer at Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies. „Our collaboration on this feasibility study once again underlines the great strengths of our LOHC solution. As an option for storing and transporting hydrogen on an industrial scale, our LOHC technology has many advantages over other transport methods – particularly in terms of safety in urban areas or ports and the purity of the hydrogen achieved. We can also use the existing infrastructure for liquid fuels, further accelerating the development of the hydrogen value chain.“
