In Norway, Provaris Energy and Norwegian Hydrogen AS announced a new collaboration agreement to jointly progress the identification and development of several sites in the Nordic region for the large-scale production and export of hydrogen to European markets. The projects will utilize locally available renewable energy to produce hydrogen for shipment to European ports. New projects will be strategically located in areas with robust grid connections and power supplies. These sites will facilitate the construction of state-of-the-art electrolyzers, and hydrogen compression facilities linked to export jetties. Provaris’ H2Neo carriers will transport the hydrogen, while the H2Leo barge will serve for storage, the partners said. In 2024, the partnership will select sites for further pre-feasibility studies, focusing on hydrogen production and export logistics, including safety, environmental, and regulatory aspects.
