Karmsund Hydrogen and HydePoint have announced a collaboration to establish a green hydrogen facility in Karmsund, Norway, with the primary goal of reducing emissions in the local industry. The facility will be strategically located at Karmsund Group’s Service Base, providing direct accessibility to hydrogen users in both maritime and onshore sectors. It is projected to have an annual production capacity exceeding 3000 tons, facilitated by a 20 MW installed electrolysis capacity. HydePoint's innovative approach includes the integration of a barge system with onshore infrastructure, allowing for the flexible and modular deployment of hydrogen capacity to meet varying demands while ensuring proximity to end users. The project is set to follow a structured development process with the first hydrogen deliveries expected in 2028. Jens Berge, CEO of Norwegian Hydrogen, highlighted the significance of this collaborative effort in driving real emission reductions and transforming ambitions into tangible actions towards sustainability. The initiative not only showcases the potential of strong industrial partnerships but also positions Haugalandet as a promising hub for green industry, emphasizing the importance of collective action in creating a more sustainable future.
