EcoLog and Gas and Heat: Pioneering the Future of Liquid Hydrogen
London, Saturday, 13 September 2025.
EcoLog and Gas and Heat team up to create the first commercial-scale liquefied hydrogen supply chain, aiming to revolutionise clean energy transport and fuel the global energy transition.
A New Era in Clean Energy Transportation
EcoLog Ltd and Gas and Heat S.p.A. have announced a groundbreaking partnership to develop the world’s first commercial-scale liquefied hydrogen (LH2) supply chain. This collaboration aims to revolutionise the way LH2 is stored, handled, and transported across continents. By connecting LH2 producers in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe with demand centres through specialised vessels, they are setting the stage for a global hydrogen economy [1][2].
Innovative Technologies and Infrastructure
The partnership focuses on three key innovations: next-generation LH2 containment systems for vessels, state-of-the-art storage tanks for terminals, and leveraging proprietary technologies for innovative applications. These advancements will facilitate the shipment of LH2 to EcoLog’s energy terminal at the Port of Amsterdam, marking a significant leap in the logistics network required for hydrogen distribution [1][2].
Driving the Global Energy Transition
The collaboration between EcoLog and Gas and Heat signifies a pivotal step towards the global adoption of liquefied hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. With hydrogen positioned as a critical clean fuel for decarbonisation, this partnership underscores its importance in achieving energy transition goals. The project aims to enhance the accessibility and affordability of LH2, making cleaner energy solutions available to key markets worldwide [1][2][3].
Industry Recognition and Approval
Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore has granted Gas and Heat an Approval in Principle (AiP) for their LH2 containment system for ships and the onshore storage facility. This approval not only recognises the technical viability of their solutions but also highlights the innovative approach to cryogenic gas handling and storage, crucial for the global energy transition [1].
Leadership Insights
Ellen Ruhotas, CEO of EcoLog, emphasised the importance of this collaboration in accelerating the adoption of LH2 as a sustainable energy source. Meanwhile, Mauro Evangelisti, Chairman of Gas and Heat, highlighted their expertise in cryogenic gas handling as a driving force behind engineering high-performance LH2 solutions. Their joint efforts are expected to fuel the energy transition, bringing cleaner energy solutions to the forefront [1][2].
