Klaipėda Port opens Lithuania’s first green hydrogen station in Port News 12/06/2026 Klaipėda Port has officially opened Lithuania’s first green hydrogen production and refuelling facility, marking a significant milestone in the country’s transition to clean energy. The new station will supply green hydrogen for passenger vehicles, heavy-duty transport, ships and port operations, laying the foundation for a new low-emission transport ecosystem in Lithuania. “Only a few years ago, green hydrogen at Klaipėda Port was little more than an ambitious vision. It led us into unexplored territory, where we often found ourselves among the first to tackle challenges that had no clear solutions. The journey was demanding, but it gave us invaluable experience. Today, we are proud to open Lithuania’s first green hydrogen facility and contribute to a new chapter in the country’s energy transition. Klaipėda Port has always connected sea and land routes; now it is also becoming a gateway to future energy solutions,” said Algis Latakas, Director General of Klaipėda Port Authority. Development of the green hydrogen project began in 2023. Construction of the facility started in the summer of 2025, and the project quickly gained momentum. The key equipment arrived at the port in October, installation followed shortly afterwards, and in April this year the first green hydrogen was successfully produced. The facility uses a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser to produce green hydrogen. At full capacity, it will be capable of producing around 127 tonnes of hydrogen annually. Klaipėda Port Authority is not only introducing green hydrogen to Lithuania but is also becoming one of its first users. Approximately one quarter of the hydrogen produced at the new facility will be used to power the Authority’s own operations. A newly built hydrogen-powered waste collection vessel will soon enter service in the port, while a hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai has already joined the Authority’s
