Following its announcement last September regarding the green hydrogen project in Mauritania, Chariot stated that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Port of Rotterdam International.

Chariot elaborated that this MoU with Europe’s largest port and global energy hub represents the first step in establishing a supply chain to import green hydrogen and ammonia to meet demand in the Netherlands and the wider region of Northwestern Europe.

Port of Rotterdam International Director René van der Plas and Chariot Transitional Power CEO Benoit Garrivier are expecting that this project could make Mauritania one of the leading, most cost-effective producers of green hydrogen.

“We are excited to be teaming up with Chariot, to help with the distribution element of their green hydrogen project in Mauritania. The project could turn Mauritania into a leading supplier of green hydrogen to Europe, making it one of the largest energy projects of its kind in the world,” van der Plas said.

“This MoU is a considerable step forward for us on our green hydrogen project and we are delighted to be working with the Port of Rotterdam, as they look to continue to cement their position as one of the leading energy hubs in Europe,” Garrivier said. “Our green hydrogen project in Mauritania has the potential to establish the country as one of the cheapest producers of green hydrogen. Our ambition is to help the nation become one of the world’s main producers and exporters of green hydrogen. We look forward to announcing further developments with this project in due course.”
