MT Group has awarded a supply contract to IMI for the delivery of a 3MW proton exchange membrane electrolyser for the Vilnius Green Hydrogen Production facility in Lithuania.
The facility is being developed by Vilnius District Heating Company in partnership with Vilnius City Municipality, with the goal of decarbonizing district heating through locally produced green hydrogen.
MT Group has previously selected IMI for the green hydrogen production plant in Klaipėda – a flagship project developed by Klaipėda State Seaport Authority on Lithuania’s Baltic coast.
Giuseppe Buscemi, President of Europe, the Middle East and Africa for IMI said: “Lithuania is setting an example for the region in advancing clean energy, and we are proud to support this green hydrogen leadership.
“Delivering the PEM electrolyser for Vilnius builds on our strong partnership with MT Group and further strengthens our long-term commitment to supporting the country’s energy transition.”
Gerimantas Bakanas, CEO of Vilniaus Šilumos Tinklai (VŠT) said of IMI: “Their solutions are used in some of the most advanced electrolysis projects around the world, and we’re confident that this partnership will contribute to setting a new standard for sustainable energy in Vilnius.”
The project is being implemented under the EU-supported Green Hydrogen Program.
Delivery of the equipment is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025, with commissioning expected in 2026.
