Ampo and Técnicas Reunidas, working together on building the Hanseatic energy hub for the supply of LNG and hydrogen in Germany.
Ampo has been selected to supply more than 1,300 cryogenic valves for the Hanseatic Energy Hub, a major LNG import terminal currently under construction in Stade, Germany. This key infrastructure will ensure the reliable supply of LNG and green gases to Germany as it prepares for the ramp-up of the hydrogen market. The project is being taken forward by Hanseatic Energy Hub GmbH, with engineering company Técnicas Reunidas as the EPC contractor.
The hub is based on a flexible modular system for the future, designed to support the transition to green energy, with its terminal, port, industrial park and connection infrastructure all conceived to enable the modular conversion of green energy carriers to hydrogen, similar to building block-based power systems.
The valves to be supplied are cryogenic and include 750 gate, globe and check valves, 610 top-entry ball valves and 26 butterfly valves, all of which will play a key role in handling cryogenic media within the complex terminal operations and ensuring safety, performance and reliability under extreme temperature conditions. Ampo will deliver the valves in late 2025 and throughout 2026.
Meanwhile, as highlighted by the newspaper El Diario Vasco in a recent article, Ampo is working on the development of new high-tech solutions for fluid handling in the fields of hydrogen, carbon capture and renewable biofuels. In addition, the company is continuing to make progress in decarbonising its own operations.
