Hogan Signs MOU with Port of Amsterdam

Premier John Hogan has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Port of Amsterdam, Netherlands, while attending the World Hydrogen 2025 Summit and Exhibition.

The memorandum of understanding is an agreement to collaborate and share information on green hydrogen issues, opportunities, and potential projects.

This mirror agreement complements the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s partnership with the Port of Rotterdam in a collaboration to improve the efficiency and sustainability of Dutch ports.

The MOU proposes the following areas of cooperation:

• Exploring the commercial opportunity and scale of future green hydrogen import markets via the port into the Netherlands and other areas of northwestern Europe, to support the development of Newfoundland and Labrador’s green hydrogen export market.

• Assessing the potential for international supply chains between the province and the port for green hydrogen, including identifying and assessing existing barriers (e.g., legal, regulatory gaps, costs) and sharing information that could help mitigate such barriers.

• Working collaboratively to unlock private sector and Federal Government investment in joint projects/initiatives related to international green hydrogen supply chains.

• Identifying opportunities to collaborate and share knowledge and best practices in key areas (e.g., port development, infrastructure and management, engaging stakeholders, post-secondary institutions, and other commercial and governmental parties).
