Norway's Enova program, owned by the Ministry of Climate and Environment, is backing the transition towards decarbonization in the maritime sector by allocating approximately $76 million in grants for projects centered on hydrogen and ammonia as ship fuels. The Minister for Climate and Environment stressed the country's need to lead the innovation at sea, highlighting the importance of supporting such projects to implement global solutions. Enova's recent funding round selected four hydrogen-powered and two ammonia-powered ships for support, allocating $50 million and $25 million, respectively. Projects by LH2 Shipping and Møre Maritime are focused on developing hydrogen-powered vessels for short sea shipping. LH2 Shipping, building on experience with liquid hydrogen operations, aims to scale up its operations and expand into open sea shipping. Enova's grant of $23.5 million will aid LH2 in advancing its liquid-hydrogen ship concepts and infrastructure development. Amon Maritime, on the other hand, is moving forward with plans for two large ammonia-fueled bulk carriers. With a target for delivery by 2029, Amon Maritime sees the adoption of ammonia-fueled propulsion as viable for large vessels with high fuel consumption, emphasizing the potential for cost-effectiveness compared to conventional ships. Enova's $25 million support will aid Amon in realizing its plans and driving investments in ammonia storage and bunkering. Enova's broader support for energy and climate technologies encompasses battery electrification, biogas production, and the development of various energy carriers in maritime transport. The program's technology-neutral approach aims to maximize the impact of support, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices in the shipping industry.
