Over $77 million for hydrogen projects in Norway

Five hydrogen production projects will receive support from Enova, Norway's energy agency. This investment aims to establish the first functioning hydrogen value chain in Norway as a springboard for further development and increased use of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel for Norwegian shipping.

The supported projects will create a network of hydrogen producers along the Norwegian coast, from Slagentangen in the southeast to Bodø in the north, making hydrogen more accessible for sustainable maritime transport.

The projects receiving funding are:

1. Hydrogen plant in Slagentangen, Vestfold: GreenH in collaboration with Grieg Edge and Esso Norge. Grant: NOK 144.11 million.
2. Hydrogen plant in Egersund, Rogaland: Kaupanes Hydrogen, owned by Hydrogen Solutions, Dalane Energi and Egersund Næring og Havn. Grant: NOK 206 million.
3. Hydrogen plant in Florø, Vestland: HyFuel, owned by Hydrogen Solutions, Fjord Base and Sogn og Fjordane Energi. Grant: NOK 180 million.
4. Hydrogen plant in Kristiansund, Møre og Romsdal: GreenH. Grant: NOK 118.66 million.
5. Hydrogen plant in Bodø, Nordland: GreenH. Grant: NOK 128.65 million.

The Norwegian government highlighted Norway’s leading role in sustainable maritime solutions and the potential global impact of developing emission-free technologies for maritime transport domestically.
