Description

The Port of Amsterdam, Evos, Electriq Global, Hydrogenious, and HSL Technologies are collaborating to implement HydroSil in Amsterdam, evaluating the technical and commercial feasibility of large-scale hydrogen import and storage. This initiative aims to meet the rising demand for sustainable energy solutions and address related infrastructure challenges. HydroSil, featuring advanced hydrogen storage technology, enhances logistics efficiency and safety. By centering on Amsterdam, a key player in Europe’s logistics and energy sectors, the project emphasizes scalable hydrogen storage's strategic importance. The collaboration aims to reduce carbon footprints, bolster energy security, and set new green technology standards, reinforcing commitments to ecological stewardship and industrial resilience.

Impact & Result

The parties are jointly working on a blueprint for an import, storage, distribution and trading hub, consisting of facilities with a total throughput capacity of 1 million tonnes of hydrogen per year. Moving to overcome the challenges with transporting and storing compressed and cooled hydrogen, the H2 Gate project is exploring several hydrogen carrier technologies in parallel, also to determine potential energetic and operational synergies between them. Subsequent studies into design and realization, including pilots, are conceivable. 

Solution Spotlight

HySiLabs has conceived, developed and patented HydroSil: the first liquid non-organic hydrogen carrier existing in the world. This carrier can transport hydrogen in a liquid state at ambient temperature and pressure by using the existing infrastructures for conventional liquids. Plus, the carrier doesn’t need any energy input for releasing the hydrogen from it. Thanks to HSL Solutions, three main issues of the energy transition can be solved: the safe and stable transportation of hydrogen, the reuse of the soon-to-be-obsolete liquid infrastructures of hydrocarbons and a circular hydrogen value chain with no waste. The first zero-carbon circular hydrogen value chain.
