Green Hydrogen Hub in Karmsund: Driving Emission Cuts and Industry Growth
Key Ideas
  • Karmsund Hydrogen, Sigma, and Karmsund Group partner with HydePoint to build a green hydrogen facility in Karmsund, aiming to reduce emissions in local industry.
  • The project plans to produce over 3000 tons of green hydrogen annually with 20 MW installed electrolysis capacity, targeting first deliveries in 2028.
  • The initiative is based on meeting local industrial needs, supporting sustainable growth, and enabling decarbonization in key sectors like maritime and onshore industries.
  • HydePoint's expertise in maritime hydrogen production provides flexible and scalable solutions, integrating barge systems with onshore infrastructure to meet varying demands.
Karmsund Hydrogen, in collaboration with Norwegian Hydrogen, Sigma, and Karmsund Group, is embarking on a venture to establish a green hydrogen facility in Karmsund, Norway. The facility, to be situated at Karmsund Group’s Service Base, aims to directly cater to hydrogen users in both the maritime and onshore sectors, fostering emission reductions in local industries. With a target of producing more than 3000 tons of green hydrogen annually through 20 MW electrolysis capacity, the project is set to commence hydrogen deliveries in 2028. The strategic partnership aligns with the region's industrial needs and ambition to mitigate emissions and bolster sustainable growth. By providing locally sourced green hydrogen, the initiative seeks to drive the decarbonization of pivotal industrial sectors and enhance the maritime industry with clean fuel solutions. By leveraging innovative technologies, such as HydePoint's maritime hydrogen production expertise, the project emphasizes flexibility in production through a barge system integrated with onshore infrastructure. This approach ensures scalability aligned with demand fluctuations, maintaining proximity to end users for efficient distribution. The collaborative effort is underpinned by active engagement with industrial and maritime clients to tailor production to genuine local requirements. The project's structure, underpinned by industry expertise and cross-sectoral cooperation, positions it as a beacon of clean energy innovation in coastal settings, poised to set a benchmark for sustainable practices and regional decarbonization.
