The agreement outlines the delivery of 42,500 tonnes per year of green hydrogen, transported via Provaris’ innovative H2Neo compressed hydrogen carriers. Deliveries could begin in early 2029 and will extend for a minimum of 10 years, establishing Europe’s first large-scale regional hydrogen marine transport project.
Hydrogen will be transported in Provaris’ H2Neo carriers, which offer a cost-effective and energy-efficient method for delivering the fuel. The green hydrogen, sourced from renewable energy, will connect key Nordic production hubs to North-Western Europe. Uniper will oversee the development of the receiving terminal, enabling integration into Europe’s hydrogen network.
By delivering 42,500 tonnes annually, the partnership directly supports Europe’s 2030 climate goals, providing a scalable, standardized approach to hydrogen supply that reduces energy losses and maximizes renewable resource efficiency.
The collaboration builds on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in August 2024, with negotiations for a binding Hydrogen Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) targeted to conclude by June 2025.
