MT Group, a leading EPC contractor in green energy infrastructure, has officially awarded a major supply contract to IMI for the delivery of a 3MW PEM electrolyzer for the Vilnius Green Hydrogen Production Facility. The unit will be deployed at the green hydrogen production facility currently under development in Vilnius, Lithuania's capital.

Project Partnership and Development

The Vilnius Green Hydrogen Production Facility is being developed by Vilnius District Heating Company in partnership with Vilnius City Municipality. MT Group serves as the full-scope EPC provider for the project, which aims to decarbonize district heating through locally produced green hydrogen.

The award agreement was concluded last week during a high-level visit to IMI's facility in Cagliari, Italy. IMI is described as a prominent manufacturer of electrolyzer systems.

Continued Partnership Between Companies

This contract marks the continuation of a successful partnership between MT Group and IMI. 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 EMEA for Process Automation at IMI, stated: "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 electrolyzer for Vilnius builds on our strong partnership with MT Group and further strengthens our long-term commitment to supporting the country's energy transition."

Executive Statements and Technology Focus

Mindaugas Zakaras, CEO of MT Group, commented: "This award represents another milestone in the energy transition for Vilnius. By choosing a trusted partner like IMI, we ensure delivery of world-class PEM technology to support Lithuania's net-zero ambitions." Gerimantas Bakanas, CEO of Vilniaus Šilumos Tinklai (VŠT), emphasized that modern electrolysis technology will ensure high efficiency, quality, and safety at the future facility.

Bakanas noted: "IMI is one of the leading players in green hydrogen technology. 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."

Implementation Timeline and Program Support

The project is being implemented under the EU-supported Green Hydrogen Program and is part of the national strategy to reduce CO₂ emissions in the heating sector by integrating renewables and hydrogen technologies.

Delivery of the equipment is scheduled for Q4 2025, with commissioning planned in 2026. The facility is located in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.
