Ecolog Terminal
Amsterdam

In the port of Amsterdam, EcoLog is working on the world’s first, large-scale liquid hydrogen and liquid CO₂ terminal. The development of this
unique dual-purpose facility feature is in an advanced
 stage.

When completed in 2030, the EcoLog Terminal Amsterdam will anchor two energy supply chains to the Netherlands and Europe — delivering clean energy and exporting CO₂ for permanent storage.

Capacity

In its first phase, the EcoLog Terminal Amsterdam will have an annual import capacity of 200,000 tonnes of hydrogen and export capacity of 1.8 million tonnes of liquid CO₂. In its second phase, this will be scaled up to 600,000 tonnes and 5.4 million tonnes respectively.

Storage System

EcoLog works together with Gas&Heat on the development of a storage system with a high Technology Readiness Level. Initial storage capacity will be 40,000m³, with double-walled tanks that can store liquid hydrogen and contain any Boil-Off Gas. Storage capacity can easily be expanded in line with offtake market development.

Cold Energy Exchange

Part of the hydrogen coming into Amsterdam will be regassed for pipeline transportation. During this process, liquid hydrogen is heated back up from -253°C. The terminal can utilise the cold energy that is released during this regasification process. In a cold energy exchange, CO₂ will be liquefied to ease overseas transport and increase the transportation volume. All with minimal electrical power required.

Last-Mile Delivery

Incoming liquid hydrogen brings versatility for distribution from the terminal to the end user. It can be converted into gaseous form or kept as a liquid, with both options being safe, non-toxic and cost-competitive.

Economic Catalyst

A safe, reliable and cost-competitive clean energy supply is a strategic imperative for Europe. The EcoLog Terminal Amsterdam is  infrastructure that can deliver this energy to essential economic sectors. The terminal is a catalyst for economic and sustainable transformation, strengthening the competitive position of existing industry, while also boosting the development of new economic activities.
