In Norway, Norwegian Hydrogen announced plans for what will become one of the largest production facilities for green hydrogen in the entire Nordic region.
The company said that it has been working on the development of a large-scale production plant for green hydrogen at Ørskog in Ålesund municipality for a long time.
The factory will have a capacity of 270 MW when it is fully developed, with a production capacity of 40,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. A capacity of 20MW has been granted, and an application for a further 250MW capacity has already been submitted and is being processed.
“This is an important milestone for the development of large-scale production of green hydrogen in Norway and we look forward to being part of developing a new forward-looking industry. It is also particularly exciting that this project is home in Sunnmøre. From Ørskog, a large volume of green hydrogen will be exported to Europe, and part of the production capacity will cover the demand from customers in Norway”, said Jens Berge, CEO of Norwegian Hydrogen.
Norwegian Hydrogen collaborated with Provaris Energy for this project. Provaris is an Australian company that has developed a solution for storing and transporting compressed hydrogen by ship.
