This milestone is anchored by EcoLog’s upcoming import terminal in the port of Amsterdam and its commercial LH2 vessels. With proven Japanese technology combined with Italian Gas and Heat expertise, the LH₂ supply chain is expanded from storage and handling systems to a full-scale import infrastructure.

The Japanese partners are well-known to the Netherlands with KOBELCO (Kobe Steel) and EBARA having offices in our country and being supported by the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA). Members of the consortium participated in the energy track this September organized by RVO and the Netherlands Innovation Network as part of the Dutch program at EXPO Osaka 2025.

EcoLog with an office in Amsterdam is a driving force behind the development of the LH₂ corridor with Amsterdam. Earlier this year a joint development agreement was signed during the state visit by His Majesty the Sultan of Oman to the Netherlands, linking Omani green hydrogen with Europe’s energy needs. Tata Steel Nederland co-signed as potential offtaker to decarbonize its hard-to-abate operations.

These collaborations show that Netherlands, Japan and international partners are finding common ground to solve global challenges together!
