Lithuania: UMOE to supply hydrogen storage containers for refuelling station
UMOE Advanced Composites has been chosen by MT Group to supply hydrogen storage containers for a hydrogen production facility in Vilnius, Lithuania.
MT Group, a leading EPC contractor, has selected UMOE Advanced Composites (UAC), a global supplier of large type IV glass fibre pressure vessels and transportation modules for CNG, biogas and hydrogen, to supply four 20 foot hydrogen storage containers for a hydrogen production facility located in Vilnius, Lithuania.
The hydrogen production facility will fuel 16 public transport buses. It will enable to cut about 1,414 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually compared with diesel vehicles. It will be developed by Miesto Gijos (formerly Vilnius Heat Networks) and constructed by MT Group.
“The Vilnius project demonstrates how strategic planning and political commitment can turn sustainability goals into functional, high-impact infrastructure. UMOE Advanced Composites were able to meet all our requirements at a competitive price and will ensure we deliver a safe, robust and technologically advanced hydrogen storage solution,” said Mindaugas Zakaras, CEO, MT Group.
“We are proud to support MT Group in another important step for Lithuania’s clean-energy transition. Our Type IV glass fibre hydrogen storage technology balances performance, durability and cost-efficiency, helping our customers reduce emissions and improve project economics – a critical factor for green hydrogen projects. This makes our solution a strong fit for this pioneering project in Vilnius,” said Tove Røskaft, CEO, UMOE Advanced Composites.
The hydrogen refuelling station is expected to be operational in the second half of 2026.
