The Ports of Amsterdam and Cork have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Irish company EIH2 to establish a net zero supply chain.

Under the MoU, partners will explore the establishment of a supply chain for green hydrogen between Ireland and Europe via the Port of Amsterdam.

This partnership will enable Ireland to maximise its use of offshore wind as a source of energy by providing an alternative route to market for such renewable electricity, the partners said.
