HydePoint and Partners Launch Green Hydrogen Facility in Norway
Key Ideas
- HydePoint and Karmsund Hydrogen are partnering to build a green hydrogen facility in Norway, producing over 3,000 tons annually.
- The project aims to cater to maritime and onshore sectors with locally produced hydrogen, promoting emission reductions and green value chains.
- HydePoint's specialized technology integrates a barge system with onshore infrastructure for modular and flexible deployment of hydrogen capacity.
- The partnership signals a move towards establishing hydrogen production in the region, promoting a low-emission future and industrial competitiveness.
Norwegian hydrogen systems developer HydePoint has collaborated with compatriot Karmsund Hydrogen, along with Norwegian Hydrogen, Sigma, and Karmsund Group, to establish a green hydrogen facility in Karmsund, Norway. The facility, based at Karmsund Group's Service Base, is set to produce more than 3,000 tons of hydrogen annually through a 20 MW installed electrolysis capacity. HydePoint's contribution includes specialized technology for maritime hydrogen production, featuring a barge system integrated with onshore infrastructure for efficient deployment of hydrogen capacity.
The project, expected to commence hydrogen deliveries in 2028, is engaging with industrial and maritime customers to align production with local demand. Stakeholders emphasize the importance of this initiative in laying the groundwork for green value chains and enhancing industrial competitiveness in a sustainable, low-emission landscape. The CEOs of Norwegian Hydrogen and Karmsund Hydrogen highlight the significance of strong industrial partnerships in driving real emission reductions and positioning Haugalandet as a hub for green industry. Additionally, the partnership between Norwegian Hydrogen and HydePoint is exploring opportunities to fast-track mid-size dockside and near-shore green hydrogen projects, aiming to further contribute to the adoption of renewable fuels and sustainable practices in the region.
