In a sign of growing demand for clean energy solutions like hydrogen and ammonina, marine energy infrastructure company Höegh LNG has announced it will be renaming itself to Höegh Evi.
Focused on flotaing installations for liquified natural gas (LNG), the company is expanding into areas like hydrogen, ammonia and carbon capture and storage. To represent this new phase the “Evi” abbreviation has been selected, as it stands for “energy vector infrastructure”.
Höegh Evi President and CEO Erik Nyheim commented on the new branding: “In a world of rapid change and evolving energy demands, customers need a partner to help them balance today’s energy security needs with tomorrow’s clean energy ambitions. Höegh Evi will continue to be a leading provider of floating LNG infrastructure while we are also applying our skills and experience to bring marine infrastructure for clean molecules into operation by the end of this decade.”
The company plans to leverage five decades of experience in LNG, particularly in the are of floating storage and regasification units, where it operates the largest global fleet.
Höegh leading the hydrogen charge in Germany
In July 2024 Deutsche ReGas and Höegh LNG reached a preliminary agreement to establish the H2-Import-Terminal in Lubmin, a floating facility designed to import and convert green ammonia into green hydrogen as part of an “industrial transformation.”

Scheduled to begin operations by early 2026, the companies claim the terminal will be the first of its kind globally, capable of cracking green ammonia to produce approximately 30,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually.
The project is part of Germany’s efforts to diversify its energy sources after the war in Ukraine caused natural gas imports from Russia to be stopped.
