Höegh LNG has rebranded to Höegh Evi, reflecting its expanded focus beyond LNG imports to include hydrogen and ammonia.
The global floating LNG infrastructure company said ‘Evi’ stands for ‘energy vector infrastructure’. The Norwegian firm, which boasts more than 50 years of experience, will now develop floating infrastructure for hydrogen and ammonia imports, along with carbon transport and storage (CCS).
Erik Nyheim, President and CEO, said, “In a world of rapid change and evolving energy demands, customers need a partner to help them balance today’s energy security needs with tomorrow’s clean energy ambitions.
“Höegh Evi will continue to be a leading provider of floating LNG infrastructure while we are also applying our skills and experience to bring marine infrastructure for clean molecules into operation by the end of this decade.”
The company is currently developing marine infrastructure that includes floating ammonia and hydrogen import terminals, ammonia cracking technology and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
At the end of June, Höegh LNG signed an agreement with Deutsche ReGas, a mid-sized company in the European energy infrastructure sector and operator of privately financed LNG-terminals in Germany, to create ‘H2-Import-Terminal Lubmin’.
The terminal will be the world’s first floating green ammonia cracker, producing around 30,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year that will be fed into the hydrogen core network via the existing feed-in point at the Deutsche ReGas Terminal in the port of Lubmin.
The green ammonia cracker technology embedded into the barge solution has been developed by Höegh LNG and serves as an industrial pilot for the conversion and decarbonisation of FSRUs in Germany.
Morten Høegh, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Höegh Evi, said the organisation will continue working on its strong reputation in the LNG industry, while “capturing the expansion of our focus in response to new demands and the energy transition.”
