A green hydrogen plant will be developed in Kristiansand
Norway funds maritime hydrogen network
Five marine hubs and seven vessels receive government funding
Norwegian state-backed environmental fund Enova is to provide NOK1.12bn ($110mn) to support the development of a hydrogen maritime refuelling network in Norway. Around NOK669mn will be spent establishing five green hydrogen production plants along the Norwegian coast, while NOK451mn will be used to develop seven hydrogen- and ammonia-powered vessels. “The government has significant ambitions related to the development of hydrogen and wants to contribute to building a coherent value chain for hydrogen produced with no or low emissions,” says Norwegian climate minister Espen Barth Eide. The five plants in Glomfjord, Rorvik, Hitra, Floro and Kristiansand will each house an electrolyser. N
