Description

As the demand for clean energy carriers grows, liquid hydrogen (LH₂) is gaining strategic importance—particularly in sectors such as maritime transport and port logistics, where energy density and cryogenic handling capabilities are critical. At EcoLog, we are leading the development of a large-scale LH₂ import and distribution terminal in the Port of Amsterdam, supported by advanced cryogenic storage and cargo handling systems for seagoing vessels and on shore terminals, developed by Gas and Heat.

This presentation will provide both strategic and technical insights from the Amsterdam project, covering infrastructure planning, investment strategy, and the key engineering decisions driving system scalability and safety. Topics will include LH₂ storage tank design, boil-off gas management, maritime refuelling interfaces, and integration with broader hydrogen value chains. We will also highlight the role of cross-sector partnerships, regulatory alignment, and modular infrastructure design in accelerating deployment timelines and ensuring commercial viability. Our experience offers practical lessons for stakeholders aiming to bridge the gap between demonstration projects and fully operational hydrogen infrastructure.

This session will be of particular value to cryogenics researchers, engineers, and industry leaders involved in hydrogen logistics, infrastructure development, and energy transition strategy.
