(Kristiansand, Norway, January 7, 2026) UMOE Advanced Composites (UAC), a global supplier of large type IV glass fibre pressure vessels and transportation modules for CNG, biogas, and hydrogen, has been selected by MT Group, a leading EPC contractor, to supply four 20 foot hydrogen storage containers for a hydrogen production facility in Vilnius, Lithuania.
The hydrogen production facility, developed by Miesto Gijos (formerly Vilnius Heat Networks) and constructed by MT Group, will fuel 16 public transport buses, replacing diesel vehicles and cutting an estimated 1,414 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, marking a major step toward sustainable urban transport in the Lithuanian capital.
“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 refueling station is expected to be operational in the second half of 2026.
