MT Group Awards 3MW PEM Electrolyzer Contract to IMI for Vilnius Green Hydrogen Project

MT Group, a leading EPC contractor in green energy infrastructure and the full-scope EPC provider for the Vilnius Green Hydrogen Production Facility, has officially awarded a major supply contract to IMI, a prominent manufacturer of electrolyzer systems, for the delivery of a 3MW PEM electrolyzer. The unit will be deployed at the green hydrogen production facility currently under development in Vilnius.

The facility, located in the capital of Lithuania, is being developed by Vilnius District Heating Company in partnership with Vilnius City Municipality, with the goal of decarbonizing district heating through locally produced green hydrogen.

This contract marks the continuation of a successful partnership, as 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. The award agreement was concluded last week during a high-level visit to IMI’s 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. 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,” said Giuseppe Buscemi, President EMEA for Process Automation at IMI.

“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,” said Mindaugas Zakaras, CEO of MT Group.

Gerimantas Bakanas, CEO of Vilniaus Šilumos Tinklai (VŠT), emphasizes that modern electrolysis technology will ensure high efficiency, quality, and safety at the future facility. “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,” says G. Bakanas. 

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.
