In Norway, Norwegian Hydrogen and Glocal Green have entered into a concrete cooperation agreement for the development and establishment of hydrogen production in connection with Glocal Green’s planned bio-methanol plant. The hydrogen production will be organized into a separate jointly owned company. “A two-year study and dialogue between us have resulted in a joint commitment to hydrogen production in connection with Glocal Green’s methanol production units. It has crystallized into a clear win-win model between the parties, and in addition, this efficiency will benefit all other parties along this holistic value chain, and not least the market,” said Dag Nikolai Ryste, CEO of Glocal Green AS. The bio-methanol will be produced from low-grade biological residual materials and by-products from forestry, agriculture, and the marine sector, the company said. The first project is in Øyer in Gudbrandsdalen. The goal is an annual production of 150,000 tons of bio-e-methanol, which will also involve local production of 15,000 tons of green hydrogen from electrolysis, the firm added.
