South Australian government signs MoU for the feasibility of exporting green hydrogen

The South Australian Government and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to study the feasibility of exporting green hydrogen made in South Australia to Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port.

At this moment, Rotterdam imports vast quantities of oil and coal. Imports of hydrogen will replace these to a large extent in the years to come, as part of the decarbonization of the European economy.

The partnership of South Australia and the Port of Rotterdam will build upon a AUD1.25 million (US$950, 533) hydrogen export modelling tool and prospectus, released in October 2020, looking at establishing green hydrogen supply chains from South Australia.
