MT Group, a leading EPC contractor specializing in green energy infrastructure, has awarded a major supply contract to IMI for the delivery of a 3MW PEM electrolyzer for the Vilnius Green Hydrogen Production Facility. IMI, a key player in electrolyzer manufacturing, will supply the unit to support Vilnius’ transition to low-carbon district heating.
Located in Lithuania’s capital, the facility is being developed by Vilnius District Heating Company (VŠT) in partnership with the Vilnius City Municipality. The project aims to reduce CO₂ emissions in the district heating system by introducing locally produced green hydrogen.
The agreement builds on the successful collaboration between MT Group and IMI, following their work together on the Klaipėda Green Hydrogen Project, a landmark initiative led by the Klaipėda State Seaport Authority. The new contract was finalized during a recent high-level visit to IMI’s manufacturing facility in Cagliari, Italy.
“Lithuania is setting an example for the region in advancing clean energy, and we are proud to support this green hydrogen leadership,” said Giuseppe Buscemi, President EMEA for Process Automation at IMI. “Delivering the PEM electrolyzer for Vilnius strengthens our partnership with MT Group and reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting Lithuania’s energy transition.”
Mindaugas Zakaras, CEO of MT Group, emphasized the significance of the award: “This marks another important step in Vilnius’ energy transformation. Partnering with IMI ensures access to top-tier PEM electrolyzer technology that aligns with Lithuania’s net-zero goals.”
Gerimantas Bakanas, CEO of VŠT, highlighted the importance of advanced electrolysis technology: “IMI’s global experience in green hydrogen solutions will help ensure high efficiency, safety, and quality at our new facility. This project is setting a benchmark for sustainable district heating in Vilnius.”
The Vilnius Green Hydrogen Production Facility is part of the EU-backed Green Hydrogen Program and Lithuania’s broader strategy to decarbonize heating by integrating renewable and hydrogen technologies. Delivery of the electrolyzer is expected in Q4 2025, with commissioning planned for 2026.
