Nord Steel to supply hydrogen storage tanks for Klaipėda Port project

Nord Steel has secured a €1.4 million contract with the EPC contractor MT Group to manufacture and supply hydrogen storage tanks for the upcoming green hydrogen production and refueling station at the Port of Klaipėda in Lithuania.

The agreement involves the design, fabrication, and delivery of three specialized storage tanks: a 40-bar green hydrogen buffer tank and two high-pressure tanks rated at 550 bar and 1000 bar, respectively.

According to Mindaugas Zakaras, CEO of MT Group, the company has extensive experience collaborating with Nord Steel on complex manufacturing and installation projects for energy and industrial facilities across Europe.

“We possess a high level of industrial competence in Lithuania that can successfully compete on a global scale. This project will enhance our ability to export our expertise and knowledge across Europe. We believe this project will not only act as a catalyst for the development of green hydrogen technologies in Lithuania but will also make a significant contribution to the region’s sustainable energy breakthrough,” said Zakaras.

Remigijus Kurgonas, CEO of Nord Steel, which operates three steel fabrication units in Lithuania, added: “We see the Klaipėda Port green hydrogen station project as an opportunity to set a benchmark for such facilities across the Baltic region. Our primary focus is ensuring the highest safety and quality standards.”

This agreement follows a recent announcement of IMI as the supplier of a PEM electrolyzer for the Klaipėda Port project, enabling on-site production of 500 kg of green hydrogen per day.
