Cooperation partner
Government of the Netherlands
Expectation is that by 2035 40-60% (70% by 2040) of hydrogen volume will be imported and it is essential to build a diversified supply system and to develop relations with countries and regions who can export hydrogen. In support of this, MOU’s for collaboration at government level and to develop public private partnerships have been signed with respectively the UAE, Oman and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The objective of the PIB for the Netherlands Government is to have Dutch companies involved in developing the local hydrogen value chain in the target countries as well as in developing the corridor of green hydrogen and derivatives such as green ammonia and methanol between the Gulf region and Europe using Netherlands ports as gateway.
