The Netherlands – Electriq Global has been awarded a €1.1 million grant from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). The grant will support the design and engineering of Electriq’s first-of-its-kind hydrogen powder manufacturing plant, which is slated to be built on Zenith Energy Terminals’ grounds and powered by Zenith’s renewable energy.

The project aligns with the Port of Amsterdam and the H2A association’s vision to transform the port into a central hub for hydrogen carriers, with a target of handling 1 million tons of hydrogen by 2030. The plant is scheduled to begin operations in 2026.

Electriq Global’s hydrogen powder is a solid-state hydrogen carrier that can be safely and efficiently stored and transported. The company’s breakthrough technology promises to significantly reduce production costs and drastically lower the carbon footprint of hydrogen production and transportation.
