On October 5, 2025, the Klaipeda Port Green Hydrogen Energy Project in Lithuania achieved significant milestone results. The core equipment of the project, the polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis cell, has successfully completed various tests at the IMI Remosa factory in Italy, marking the beginning of the equipment installation phase for this clean energy project with a total investment of approximately 12 million euros. According to the plan, the project will be completed and put into operation by the end of 2025, with an annual production capacity of 127 tons of green hydrogen gas, mainly used to meet the clean energy needs of the shipping industry in the Baltic Sea region.

It is reported that the electrolytic cell that has completed the test this time will serve as the core equipment for the hydrogen production and supply station at Klaipeda Port. The equipment is about to be transported to Lithuania for on-site installation and commissioning, and the entire construction project is expected to be completed by February 2026. The project has received significant support from the EU NextGenerationEU Recovery Fund, and upon completion, Klaipeda Port will become the first port in Lithuania and the Baltic States to have green hydrogen production and supply capabilities, providing fuel for Lithuania's first green hydrogen powered vessel.

Julius Matulionis, Director of the Klaipeda Port Authority, stated that the successful completion of factory testing for the electrolytic cell is a crucial step for the port in its clean fuel production and application plan, which will drive the regional energy transition process and effectively reduce the environmental footprint. In September of this year, the port also completed a supporting project to support the development of offshore wind power in Lithuania, demonstrating the port's continuous efforts in promoting the development of green energy.
