IMI has agreed to provide a PEM electrolyser to a new hydrogen refuelling station at the Port of Klaipéda in Lithuania being developed by MT Group.
When commissioned, the VIVO electrolyser is forecasted to produce 500kg of green hydrogen on-site per day while using an electrical input of 3MW drawn from renewables. The on-site production will mean the refuelling station relies less on imported hydrogen.
The electrolyser product reportedly offers full customisation in size, capacity and configuration, ranging from 100kW to 5MW, with the potential for further expansion to 20MW through a modular configuration.
H2 View understands that these capabilities were attractive to both the EPC contractor MT Group and the Klaipéda State Seaport Authority in their electrolyser selection process.
“We are committed to making the new hydrogen refuelling station in Klaipéda a benchmark for the entire industry,” explained Mindaugas Zakaras, CEO of MT Group.
“IMI was able to provide us with prompt response and technical expertise alongside their customisable solution. This was exactly why we chose to partner with them on this exciting project.”
Mauro Natalini, Sales and Business Development Manager at IMI, added, “We’ve been working closely with both MT Group and the Seaport Authority throughout this process, with some of their technicians recently visiting our manufacturing site in Sardinia to see the electrolyser production process in person.
“This cements our strong bond, as we both strive to help accelerate the use of green hydrogen in the Baltic region. It also reflects our commitment to working with our clients to help deliver solutions that enable emissions reductions in key industries.”
Last month (December 2024), IMI supplied a VIVO PEM electrolyser to support a hydrogen-powered district heating initiative in Germany. The system was perfect due to its small, flexible and scalable output capacities.
