GreenH Electrolysis positions itself as a full-stack green hydrogen solutions provider. How does this differentiate the company from a pure electrolyser manufacturer and what market gap is it specifically trying to address?

GreenH was created to address a clear gap in India’s hydrogen ecosystem — the lack of end-to-end, execution-ready green hydrogen solutions. While pure electrolyser manufacturers typically stop at supplying stacks or skids, GreenH integrates electrolyser manufacturing, system engineering, EPC, commissioning, and long-term O&M under one roof. This full-stack approach is critical in India, where customers are often new to hydrogen and need performance-guaranteed solutions rather than individual components. By owning the system integration and lifecycle performance, GreenH reduces project risk, accelerates deployment timelines, and enables customers to move from pilot to scale.

GreenH has set up state-of-the-art 1,000 MW electrolyser plant in Reliance MET Industrial Park, Jhajjar. What is the current and planned manufacturing capacity of this facility over the next 2–3 years?

GreenH’s Jhajjar facility has an initial manufacturing capacity of 100 MW per year, designed with a modular layout that allows rapid scaling to gigawatt-scale production as market demand accelerates. Over the next 2–3 years, capacity expansion will be market-linked, ensuring capital discipline while remaining ready to support India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission. Importantly, the facility is future-proofed to accommodate next-generation technologies, including AEM and SOEC, aligned with ongoing R&D within the H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies group.

What performance benchmarks has GreenH’s 1 MW PEM electrolyser achieved in real-world operating conditions? How critical is indigenous manufacturing for meeting India’s green hydrogen cost targets?

Indigenous manufacturing is absolutely central to meeting India’s green hydrogen cost targets. Local production reduces import dependency, logistics costs, and currency exposure, while enabling faster customization for Indian operating conditions. Over time, localisation also unlocks cost reduction through supply chain development, learning curves, and service efficiency, all of which are essential to achieving globally competitive hydrogen costs.

H2B2, your parent company, has been among the early movers in executing green hydrogen projects globally. What are the key strategic and execution learnings that the Indian operations are drawing from H2B2’s experience across the US, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Asia-Pacific?  

H2B2’s global project experience, with over 19 installations worldwide, has provided invaluable learnings in system design, project execution, and long-term operability. Moreover, all this knowledge is brought forward from EPC and O&M activities, to design and engineering early stages, on a virtuoso cycle. Indian operations benefit directly from proven approaches to stack configuration, balance-of-plant optimisation, safety engineering, and performance monitoring across diverse regulatory and climatic conditions.

How competitive are GreenH’s PEM electrolysers in terms of efficiency, durability, and cost compared to imported systems?

GreenH’s PEM electrolysers are globally competitive on safety, efficiency, reliability and durability, with performance benchmarks comparable to established international OEMs. From a cost perspective, local manufacturing provides a clear advantage by reducing import duties, logistics costs, and lead times. Equally important is lifecycle economics — proximity of service teams, faster spares availability, and integrated O&M significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to imported systems.

What were the key technical and commercial challenges in setting up India-based PEM electrolyser manufacturing?

From a technical standpoint, achieving consistent quality in precision manufacturing, especially for stacks and critical balance-of-plant components, required close supplier development and rigorous qualification processes. Commercially, the challenge was balancing early-stage market volumes with capital-intensive manufacturing. GreenH addressed this by adopting a scalable, modular factory design and leveraging H2B2’s proven technology to accelerate time to market while managing risk.

GreenH is building hydrogen production and refuelling station for India’s first hydrogen-powered train. How does this collaboration help Indian Railways reduce emissions, fuel costs, and operational dependence on diesel?

The hydrogen production and refuelling station enables Indian Railways to replace diesel with a zero-emission fuel, directly reducing CO? emissions and local air pollutants. Over time, green hydrogen also offers greater price stability compared to diesel, which is exposed to global fuel price volatility. Additionally, domestically produced hydrogen strengthens India’s energy security by reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels.

What outcomes have emerged so far from the hydrogen production and refuelling station being built by GreenH for Indian Railways? How scalable is this hydrogen refuelling model for wider rail, bus, or heavy-duty mobility deployment?

Indian Railways project is currently under commissioning and expected to be operational soon, serving as a critical real-world validation platform for hydrogen mobility in India. The modular design of the production and refuelling infrastructure makes it highly scalable, not only for rail applications but also for buses, trucks, and other heavy-duty mobility segments, where centralized hydrogen hubs can serve multiple fleets.

From GreenH’s perspective, how does working with Indian Railways accelerate technology validation and market adoption for indigenous PEM electrolysers?

Indian Railways provides a high-duty, mission-critical operating environment, which is ideal for validating electrolyser performance, reliability, and safety at scale. Successful deployment builds confidence among other public and private sector users, and accelerates broader market adoption of indigenous electrolysis technology.

How GreenH does customizes electrolyser and refuelling solutions for different mobility use cases such as trains, buses, and trucks?

GreenH customizes solutions based on duty cycle, refuelling pressure, footprint constraints, and redundancy requirements. While the core electrolyser technology remains standardised, balance-of-plant, storage, and dispensing systems are tailored to meet the specific operational needs of each mobility segment.

Beyond manufacturing, GreenH is offering EPC and O&M services. How important is systems integration to successful hydrogen project deployment? What capabilities has GreenH developed to ensure high uptime and reliability of hydrogen plants?

Systems integration is fundamental to hydrogen projects success. Electrolysers (or any other piece of equipment) do not operate in isolation — performance depends on how well power electronics, water treatment, compression, storage, and controls are integrated. GreenH has developed strong EPC and O&M capabilities to ensure high uptime, safe operation, and predictable performance, which are critical for customer confidence and project bankability. Products and services are tailor-made for each and every hydrogen project, to optimize its utilization on this nascent market.

How is GreenH addressing key PEM challenges such as catalyst cost, stack lifetime, and water quality requirements? Is the company investing in R&D to move beyond PEM such as AEM or next-generation electrolysis technologies?

Beyond PEM, the GreenH and H2B2 group is actively investing in AEM and SOEC technologies to continue fostering technology development, positioning GreenH to adopt the most suitable electrolysis technology as use cases and economics evolve.

Where does GreenH aim to be in the green hydrogen value chain by 2030? Any expansion plans beyond India and does the company see export opportunities for Indian-made electrolysers?

By 2030, GreenH aims to be a leading integrated green hydrogen solutions provider, spanning manufacturing, EPC, O&M, and hydrogen infrastructure for industrial and mobility applications. India is expected to become a global manufacturing and export hub, and GreenH sees strong opportunities for exporting Indian-made electrolysers and derivatives such as green methanol, aligned with global decarbonisation demand.

Avaada has signed a MoU with Tata Steel SEZ in 2023 to set up a green hydrogen/ammonia manufacturing unit at Gopalpur Industrial Park, Odisha. Current status of the project and expected timeline for commissioning?

The collaboration with Tata Steel SEZ at Gopalpur marks a significant milestone in Avaada Group's vision to establish an integrated green molecules ecosystem in eastern India. 

Since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the project has progressed steadily through the planning and pre-development phase. We've seen encouraging traction across key work streams, including land allocation, grid connectivity, and renewable integration, leading to significant advancement of key project milestones. 

We are actively advancing discussions on technology partnerships, project structuring, and off-take alignment with reputable global and domestic players. The process for technology selection and engineering design is currently underway. 

Due to the project's massive scale, we've adopted a carefully phased approach to maintain global competitiveness and future readiness. Our immediate goal is to establish a robust foundation—technically, financially, and environmentally—for a world-class green hydrogen and ammonia complex. This facility will significantly contribute to both Odisha’s industrial ecosystem and India’s broader green energy ambitions. Project plan is progressing for first phase to be commissioned around end 2028/early 2029, with capacity ramp-up thereafter. 

Given your recent renewable energy and storage investments (floating solar, pumped storage, and manufacturing) in Odisha, how will Avaada ensure dedicated, stable renewable power supply for hydrogen electrolysis? 

We are building a diversified renewable ecosystem in Odisha that includes large-scale solar, floating solar, and firm renewable energy solutions, all designed to ensure a continuous supply of clean power. 

To ensure both cost optimization and supply resilience, our strategy combines intra-state renewable projects, which strengthen Odisha’s local grid and industrial ecosystem, with inter-state renewable linkages, which provide access to high-resource zones and balance seasonal variations. This hybrid approach ensures that our green ammonia facility benefits from the most efficient and reliable power mix available nationwide. 

By integrating round-the-clock renewable generation with energy/hydrogen storage and intelligent dispatch systems, we can deliver stable, reliable, and cost-competitive power to our green hydrogen/ammonia facilities. This approach minimizes intermittency risks and maximizes electrolyser utilization, a critical factor in reducing the overall cost of green hydrogen/ammonia. 

The first-of-its-kind energy banking facility secured in Odisha will provide crucial flexibility and play a pivotal role in ensuring operational reliability for our Gopalpur green ammonia Project.  

What synergies does Avaada foresee between its renewable-power generation business, electrolyser manufacturing arm, and hydrogen/ammonia plants, both technically and economically? Are there plans for backward or forward integration to ensure end-to-end control and cost efficiency? 

The synergies across Avaada’s renewable power generation, manufacturing, and green hydrogen/ammonia operations are both strategic and deeply transformative. We see this integration not as an incremental advantage, but as the core of our long-term vision to build a self-sustaining clean energy ecosystem that extends “from sand to molecule.” 

On the technical front, tight integration across renewable generation, storage, and hydrogen/ammonia production enables superior process optimization. For instance, by aligning our solar, wind, floating solar, and storage assets directly with electrolysers, we can ensure round-the-clock green power, minimize intermittency, and achieve higher electrolyser utilization factors — a key driver of lower hydrogen costs.   

On the economic side, integration offers powerful cost and risk advantages. Captive renewable power provides insulation from market price volatility. Additionally, forward integration into green ammonia and derivative production helps us capture more value across the chain, while backward integration into manufacturing, ensures tighter quality control and higher efficiency. 

Our goal is to develop a digitally integrated “Power-to-Molecule” platform that synchronizes renewable generation, storage, electrolysis, and ammonia synthesis into a single, optimized workflow. This unified approach minimizes the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) while strengthening resilience against global supply chain volatility. 

Newly signed MoU with GRIDCO and IIT-Bhubaneswar aims to set up a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for green hydrogen. What will be the focus areas? Will the CoE also look at localization of electrolyser manufacturing, hydrogen storage technologies, and green-hydrogen safety norms adaptation for Indian conditions? 

The partnership with GRIDCO and IIT Bhubaneswar to establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for green hydrogen represents a significant step in advancing India’s innovation ecosystem for clean energy. 

The CoE will act as a collaborative innovation hub, structured around three core pillars: 

Technology Localization and Adaptation: Focuses on advancing research into indigenous electrolyzer components and hydrogen storage solutions that are specifically designed for India's unique climate and operating conditions.

Safety, Standards, and Regulatory Alignment: Involves working with academic and policy institutions to develop green hydrogen safety protocols, material standards, and codes that align with Indian infrastructure and environmental realities.

Skill Development and Innovation Incubation: Aims to nurture the next generation of scientists, engineers, and startups in the green hydrogen and ammonia sectors, thereby solidifying Odisha's role as a national hub for clean energy innovation. 

In addition, the CoE will play an important role in bridging academic research with industrial application, supporting pilot demonstrations, and fostering real-time technology validation for upcoming large-scale projects like our Gopalpur Green Ammonia facility. 

Does Avaada plan further collaborations with academic/research institutes or other technology providers to develop advanced hydrogen technologies? 

Building India's clean energy future cannot happen in isolation; it is a shared endeavor propelled by science, technology, and strategic partnerships. We are actively connecting with top academic and research entities, global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and technology startups to jointly develop and pilot next-generation solutions spanning the entire value chain. 

These collaborations are not just about technology but about co-creation and adaptation — developing solutions that are optimized for Indian conditions, cost-competitive globally, and aligned with India’s Make-in-India and energy-transition goals.  

Given the large scale and investment, does Avaada intend to target exports of green ammonia/hydrogen derivatives (for global markets), or focus primarily on domestic demand? 

India is set to become a global leader in green hydrogen consumption over the coming decades, propelled by assertive government policies and a strong industry drive toward decarbonization. While domestic usage will eventually dominate, crucial early demand will come from export markets in Europe, Japan, and South Korea as local supply chains mature. 

Our Gopalpur Green Ammonia Project is strategically located on the eastern coast, offering direct access to port infrastructure for global exports while maintaining proximity to domestic industrial hubs. This dual advantage allows us to serve both domestic and international demand seamlessly, ensuring flexibility and long-term market stability. 

We truly appreciate the Government of India’s leadership under the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) and the support from the Government of Odisha for creating an enabling environment for such investments.  

However, as the ecosystem evolves, there is a pressing need to build a robust domestic demand framework — through instruments like green hydrogen purchase obligations (GHPOs), refinery and fertilizer blending mandates, and incentives for steel, shipping, and mobility sectors. This will ensure that India not only produces competitively but also creates a stable home market that complements its export ambitions. 

How does Avaada plan to manage logistics, storage, and transport for hydrogen/ammonia? Does it foresee building dedicated port, bunkering or shipping infrastructure? 

Gopalpur’s strategic coastal location gives us a natural logistical advantage for developing an integrated green ammonia export ecosystem. From the very outset, we designed the project with port connectivity, storage, and maritime logistics as core enablers rather than afterthoughts. 

We are closely working with the Gopalpur Port authorities and other state agencies towards dedicated ammonia storage and loading infrastructure. The focus is on creating and using an end-to-end logistics corridor along with storage to ensure seamless movement from production to shipment. 

While Avaada does not intend to build or operate shipping fleets, we are actively exploring strategic partnerships with global ammonia carriers, bunkering companies, and port operators to establish long-term logistics solutions. These partnerships will not only serve our exports but also position Gopalpur as one of India’s first green hydrogen and ammonia maritime hubs, capable of supporting future bunkering operations and hydrogen-based fuel adoption in shipping. 

Given that large-scale electrolysis and ammonia production are water- and energy-intensive, how does Avaada plan to ensure sustainability, water sourcing, zero minimal emissions, waste-management, and manage environmental/social impact in local communities? 

At Avaada, sustainability is not an add-on — it’s the foundation of our green molecules business model. Every aspect of our Gopalpur project has been designed with a deep commitment to environmental stewardship, community well-being, and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

The Government of Odisha is working on to ensure water availability/allocation from sustainable sources such as regulated river systems and designated water bodies. In parallel, desalination-based water supply options are being explored to ensure long-term resilience and zero dependency on freshwater stress zones. 

From a design standpoint, the project incorporates high-efficiency electrolysers, zero-liquid-discharge (ZLD) and closed-loop water recycling systems, state-of-the-art emission control, and renewable-powered auxiliary systems — ensuring that every tonne of green ammonia produced has a minimal environmental footprint. 

Equally important is our social and community engagement strategy. Avaada’s approach goes beyond compliance — we focus on local employment generation, skill development, and creating shared value for nearby communities. Our social impact initiatives ensures that the benefits of the green energy transition are inclusive and sustainable. 

In essence, our Gopalpur project aims to become a benchmark for responsible industrial growth.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges is hosting the world’s first operational ammonia cracker and is actively constructing its hydrogen pipeline network, with strong connectivity ambitions towards Germany by 2030

Port of Antwerp-Bruges recently reinforced ties with India during the 2025 Belgian Economic Mission and supported a MoU involving Flanders Investment & Trade, Green H2 India, and Belgian Hydrogen Council to promote renewable hydrogen worldwide. How does the port plan to translate this India-focused MoU into concrete hydrogen initiatives or projects?

The first year of the MoU has already demonstrated its practical value. We focused on building mutual understanding and trust. This included several webinars on hydrogen strategies and project pipelines, participation in the EU Hydrogen Week, and several site visits to Port of Antwerp-Bruges. For instance, there was a visit to the world’s first operational ammonia cracking installation in Antwerp. We were also honoured to welcome India’s MNRE Secretary to Port House which further strengthened the dialogue at policy and industry level.

Looking ahead, the focus shifts clearly to project-oriented cooperation. This includes a visit to India to engage directly with developers such as AM Green in Kakinada, participation in the GH2 Symposium, discussions around potential ammonia import-export corridors, and port infrastructure partnerships. In parallel, Port of Antwerp-Bruges recently has joined GH2’s Green Shipping & Ports Network to work closely with Indian developers, ports, and shipping lines on concrete trade flows.

The MoU signed with Green H2 India and other partners aims to boost renewable hydrogen production and alternative energy collaboration. What specific areas of knowledge exchange, technology transfer or joint project development does Port of Antwerp-Bruges envision with Indian stakeholders?

The MoU provides a framework for cooperation. We see strong value in structured exchanges through webinars, expert missions, roadshows, and port visits. On the technology side, Belgium has a strong hydrogen technology ecosystem. Several Belgian technology suppliers are already active in India, including membrane suppliers and electrolyser manufacturers involved in flagship Indian projects. Through the MoU, we aim to deepen these connections and stimulate additional technology partnerships, pilot projects, and joint innovation between Belgian and Indian companies across hydrogen value chain.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges has supported training and consultancy efforts with Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority. How important is workforce capacity building in hydrogen supply chains for India?

Workforce development is a critical, and sometimes underestimated, success factor in building hydrogen supply chains. Hydrogen and its carriers are not new to ports like Antwerp-Bruges, but scaling them safely and efficiently requires specialised operational, regulatory, and logistics expertise. Through decades of experience Port of Antwerp-Bruges can share best practices in port management, safety frameworks, logistics optimisation, and training models. Our subsidiaries Port of Antwerp-Bruges International and APEC/Flanders Port Training Center can offer tailor made programs and offerings.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges is positioning itself as a major import hub for green hydrogen and hydrogen carriers such as ammonia and methanol from regions with abundant renewable energy. How does the port see this import infrastructure aligning with India’s ambitions to become a hydrogen exporter or supply partner for European hydrogen markets?

Belgium’s ambition is to become a major import hub for green molecules in Northwest Europe aligns perfectly with India’s ambition to become a global production and export hub. Belgium has limited domestic renewable potential, making imports essential for industrial decarbonisation. In Antwerp-Bruges, multiple large-scale ammonia storage and cracking projects are under development with partners such as Air Products, Vopak, Advario, Fluxys, and VTTI. Several of these projects have entered FEED phases and permitting procedures, with 2 FID’s expected hopefully soon and commissioning targeted towards 2029–2030. This timeline aligns well with India’s flagship hydrogen production projects. Port of Antwerp-Bruges is hosting the world’s first operational ammonia cracker and is actively constructing its hydrogen pipeline network, with strong connectivity ambitions towards Germany by 2030.

The port is planning large-scale terminals for ammonia and hydrogen carrier imports by 2027–2028. What role could India play as an export source of green molecules to Antwerp-Bruges and broader European market?

India is emerging as a key long-term partner for Europe’s green molecule supply. The momentum created by the 2025 Belgian Economic Mission, the BHC–GH2 MoU and recent high-level visits is already translating into concrete commercial discussions. We see increasing interest from Indian producers to connect with European offtakers clustered around Antwerp-Bruges. The port’s role is to provide reliable, open-access infrastructure and transparent market conditions that enable these long-distance supply chains to move from concept to reality.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges is active in international coalitions and is a founding member of H2Global Foundation to promote hydrogen trade and market expansion. India, with its focus on building green hydrogen and export capacity, benefit from deeper participation in such global market mechanisms?

H2Global is the leading market creation mechanism in the hydrogen market. With it’s double sided auction, it provides transparency and competition on both producing and off taking side. If we could set up a trilateral window in H2Global India-Belgium-Germany, we could aggregate demand and create benefits of scale.

Given the port’s development of hydrogen infrastructure, how does Port of Antwerp-Bruges envisage integrating or collaborating with Indian ports that are building hydrogen or hydrogen-carrier ecosystems?

Through its subsidiary Port of Antwerp-Bruges International (POABI), the port actively explores advisory, investment, and partnership opportunities worldwide. POABI brings expertise in port development, energy infrastructure, governance models, and operational excellence. Globally, we expect new bunkering hubs for low-carbon fuels to emerge along major shipping routes due to lower energy densities and increased refueling needs. India is strategically positioned to become one of these key hubs. Therefore we are keen to explore collaboration opportunities with Indian ports developing hydrogen and hydrogen-carrier ecosystems.

The port supports innovation projects such as NextGen District and the HyBex hub project for hydrogen trading and balancing. What learnings or models from these initiatives could be relevant for Indian hydrogen hub development?

While not directly transferable, initiatives like NextGen District (our circular economy hub for start and scale ups) demonstrate how ports can create space for industrial-scale innovation, circular economy projects and energy transition technologies. They showcase how regulatory flexibility, infrastructure access, and industrial clustering can accelerate deployment.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges is working with cutting-edge industrial partners on hydrogen value-chain infrastructure with Fluxys, Air Liquide, VOPAK, and VTTI. How might these partnerships translate into India-focused collaborations, including technology transfer, joint ventures or pilot projects?

Our partnerships with companies such as Fluxys, Air Liquide, Vopak, and VTTI create strong bridges to India. Vopak, for example, already operates in India, opening opportunities to link Indian and European terminal developments. Fluxys’ international experience with pipeline joint ventures could be relevant in an Indian context as hydrogen backbone infrastructure develops. Combined with POABI’s capabilities, these partnerships can support joint ventures, pilot projects, and targeted infrastructure development.

In the context of India’s NGHM and export ambitions for green hydrogen and derivatives, what policy frameworks or bilateral agreements would Port of Antwerp-Bruges like to see developed between India and EU?

Concluding a comprehensive EU–India trade framework with hydrogen and energy as a core pillar is essential. Reducing or removing trade barriers for green molecules will be critical for viable import-export corridors. At bilateral level, a dedicated Belgium–India hydrogen MoU could further accelerate cooperation. A joint H2Global window would complement these policy frameworks.

What strategic incentives does Port of Antwerp-Bruges consider essential for streamlining India-Europe hydrogen supply chains?

Key incentives include long-term offtake certainty, transparent pricing mechanisms, aligned certification schemes, and streamlined permitting. Public support instruments should focus on de-risking projects and bridging initial cost gaps until scale effects reduce prices.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges aims to be climate neutral by 2050 and is building a hydrogen economy that supports industrial decarbonisation. How partnerships with Indian ports and industries contribute to shared sustainability outcomes and emissions reduction goals?

Partnerships between Indian producers and European consumers enable optimal allocation of renewable resources globally. India’s strong production potential combined with Europe’s concentrated industrial demand creates a natural production–consumption synergy that maximizes emissions reduction per euro invested.

Key logistical, regulatory, and commercial challenges Port of Antwerp-Bruges has faced in scaling hydrogen and hydrogen carrier infrastructure? How these insights will help Indian ports and policymakers accelerate hydrogen adoption?

Logistically, handling ammonia and methanol is not new for Antwerp-Bruges. These products have moved through the port safely for decades. The challenge lies mainly in scaling volumes. Regulatorily, EU hydrogen legislation is being translated into Belgian law, guided by principles of transparency, non-discrimination, and open access. Adoption is expected in 2026. Commercially, long-term binding offtake agreements remain key. India’s highly competitive production costs are a strong advantage in this respect.

As hydrogen supply chains mature globally through 2025 and beyond, how does Port of Antwerp-Bruges plan to balance domestic European hydrogen demand, imported volumes and collaboration with emerging markets like India?

Belgium has limited domestic hydrogen production potential, making imports indispensable. At the same time, diversification is essential to avoid overdependence. Alongside India, we are exploring supply routes from Namibia, Oman, Brazil, and others.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges and Port of Rotterdam are both positioning themselves as major European hydrogen and hydrogen-carrier (ammonia/methanol) hubs. How does Antwerp-Bruges differentiate its value proposition with Port of Rotterdam?

In this respect, European ports are rather complementary and not purely competitive. For Indian partners, the most important factors are infrastructure readiness, regulatory clarity, industrial demand, and logistics connectivity. These are all areas where Port of Antwerp-Bruges offers a very strong value proposition.

Port of Rotterdam has invested heavily in hydrogen infrastructure, pipeline networks and bunkering. How is Antwerp-Bruges tailoring its port infrastructure and service offerings to compete effectively for Indian green hydrogen/ammonia volumes?

In Antwerp-Bruges, multiple large-scale ammonia storage and cracking projects are under development with partners such as Air Products, Vopak, Advario, Fluxys, and VTTI. Several of these projects have entered FEED phases and permitting procedures, with 2 FID’s expected soon and commissioning targeted towards 2029–2030. All these projects are among the most advanced in Europe.

Looking ahead to 2030, what shared benchmarks or project milestones would Port of Antwerp-Bruges like to achieve with Indian counterparts?

By 2028–2030, we aim to see the first fully operational hydrogen and ammonia import corridors. This marks the transition from strategy papers to real molecules flowing, from ambition to execution.
