The EOS Ecolog project is developing a dual-purpose import terminal in the Port of Amsterdam designed to handle both liquid hydrogen (LH₂) and liquid CO₂. This innovative concept positions Amsterdam as one of the first European ports preparing integrated infrastructure for both the energy transition (through hydrogen imports) and the circular/negative-emissions economy (through CO₂ handling for reuse or safe transport).
On the hydrogen side, the terminal will enable large-scale import, storage and distribution of liquid hydrogen, connecting global production regions with industrial and mobility users in Northwest Europe. On the CO₂ side, the facility will be capable of receiving and managing liquefied CO₂ streams, supporting emerging value chains such as e-fuel production, carbon utilisation, and regional or international transport for permanent storage.
By combining these two flows in one facility, the EOS–Ecolog terminal leverages shared infrastructure, improves operational efficiency, and contributes to a future-proof port ecosystem where hydrogen supply chains and CO₂ management systems reinforce one another. This dual-terminal approach strengthens Amsterdam’s position as a key hub for clean energy logistics and carbon-smart industry solutions.
H₂era is HyCC’s flagship green hydrogen project in the Port of Amsterdam and a cornerstone of the region’s emerging hydrogen ecosystem. The project aims to develop a large-scale electrolysis plant of up to 500 MW, producing renewable hydrogen from wind and solar power. Located at a strategic energy and industrial nexus within the port, H₂era is designed to supply clean hydrogen to local industries, sustainable fuels producers, and heavy mobility users, supporting significant regional decarbonisation.
The project will serve as a key anchor for the hydrogen value chain in Amsterdam, connecting future import flows, regional distribution networks including H2Avannet, and major industrial offtakers in the North Sea Canal Area. By scaling electrolysis capacity in phases, H₂era contributes to early market development while preparing for the long-term integration of large hydrogen volumes into the regional energy system.
H₂era reflects HyCC’s broader commitment to developing safe, reliable and competitive green hydrogen solutions that accelerate the transition to climate-neutral industry and transport in the Netherlands.
H2avennet is a regional hydrogen distribution network being developed in the Port of Amsterdam to connect hydrogen producers, importers and industrial users through an efficient, low-pressure grid. Designed to support local hydrogen uptake in decarbonisation, the network will initially allow clean hydrogen to flow across the port and surrounding industrial zones, facilitating early offtake and operational demand. It is planned to integrate with the broader national hydrogen transport backbone (being constructed by Hynetwork – Gasunie) in the future, enabling continuity from large-scale supply and imports to localised users. The development of H2Avannet demonstrates how distributed infrastructure can underpin hydrogen-based industrial transformation and greater energy security in the region.
The Hydrogen Network Netherlands (HNS), developed by Hynetwork Services (a subsidiary of Gasunie), is the foundation of national hydrogen infrastructure that will link major industrial clusters, import terminals and storage facilities throughout the country. Once fully realised, this network will ensure reliable and large-scale hydrogen transport, enabling hydrogen to move from entry points such as the Port of Amsterdam into inland industrial regions and across borders. It is being built in phases, typically reusing existing pipeline infrastructure where possible and laying new segments where needed, with initial rollout focused on key industrial regions, including the North Sea Canal Area. By providing backbone infrastructure for hydrogen flows, HNS supports long-term decarbonisation of industry and helps position the Netherlands as a hydrogen hub in Europe.
