Hydrogen carriers

Hello Hydrogen: what it takes to move clean ammonia from pilots to scale

"If we look at the system today. The whole supply chain is there." Clean ammonia is steadily moving from future concept to real‑world application. In the latest episode of Hello Hydrogen, Sjoerd Jenneskens (Agrofert) shares insights from years of experience with ammonia in Rotterdam and what is needed to move towards the next phase. Duna Uribe (Port of Rotterdam Authority) explains how ammonia fits into the broader hydrogen system, and the role that policy, regulation and infrastructure play in making the transition work. In this special episode of Hello Hydrogen, recorded in the run‑up to the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam this May, we explore how ammonia can support hydrogen imports, maritime applications and industrial use and what it takes to move from pilots to scale.

Importing and storing hydrogen

In the previous episode, we learned all there is to know about the different hydrogen carriers, which we'll use to import hydrogen in the future. But where are we going to get that hydrogen from, and how will we store it? In this last episode of the season, Celwin talks to Martijn Coopman (Port of Rotterdam Authority) and Robert-Jan Reuvekamp (Air Products) to find out.

Hydrogen carriers

Hydrogen can be bound to various other components, in order to be used in a different way or transported with more ease. These are called hydrogen carriers. But which ones are there, how do we produce them? And what more can we use them for? To find out, Celwin speaks to Marthe Fruytier (Port of Rotterdam Authority) and Feikje Wittermans (Vopak).

Producing hydrogen by electrolysis

If we want to use hydrogen, we have to produce it. We can do this via a process called electrolysis. To find out all about this process, Celwin talks to Afkenel Schipstra from Uniper and Rene van der Meer from the PosHYdon project.

The world of hydrogen is coming to life in Rotterdam

In this podcast series, host Celwin Frenzen dives into the world of hydrogen, which is coming to life in Rotterdam. In episode 1, Celwin talks to Randolf Weterings from the Port of Rotterdam about the status of all hydrogen projects in the port of Rotterdam, and to Diederick Luijten from Air Liquide to find about their hydrogen projects.
