Norway has good export potential
Norway slow to embrace hydrogen export potential
The country's carbon storage potential makes it a good candidate for blue hydrogen exports
Norway’s gas and hydropower resources and its favourable geography for carbon capture and storage (CCS) give it plenty of potential as a producer of blue and green hydrogen, but it is not yet clear the extent to which it will seek to export the fuel. So far, there are only a few large-scale blue hydrogen and ammonia projects proposed in the country. State-owned Equinor is planning c.460,000t/yr of blue hydrogen for export to Germany at its Norway Energy Hub, while Shell and Aker Horizons have plans for 230,000-575,000t/yr of blue hydrogen at the Aukra hub. “It will take years to take the decision on a new hydrogen pipeline” Stevens, Saga Pure And local firm Horisont Energi, which is
