Norwegian Hydrogen's Green Revolution: Lessons for Canadian Provinces
Key Ideas
  • Norwegian Hydrogen (NH) showcases Europe's cutting-edge green hydrogen approach at the Global Energy Show, emphasizing renewable energy innovations.
  • NH's Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub in Norway leads in green hydrogen production, utilizing byproducts for local benefit like heating and supporting aquaculture.
  • Canadian provinces like Alberta and BC are exploring hydrogen pathways with a focus on blue and green hydrogen, respectively, each with unique strategies and investments in hydrogen innovation.
  • NH's integrated, localized approach serves as a model for Canadian provinces, highlighting the potential economic and community benefits of hydrogen production byproducts.
Norwegian Hydrogen (NH) made a significant impression at the Global Energy Show in Calgary with its focus on green hydrogen and renewable energy innovations. Based in Alesund, Norway, NH is on a mission to build a network of green hydrogen production and distribution hubs to support various industries in achieving zero-emission goals. NH's flagship project, the Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub, showcases how green hydrogen can be produced through electrolysis using renewable sources, with beneficial byproducts like excess heat and oxygen for local use. Canadian provinces like Alberta and BC are also investing in hydrogen initiatives, with Alberta focusing on blue hydrogen from natural gas and carbon capture, while BC prioritizes green hydrogen from hydropower. NH's model of creating multi-sector hydrogen ecosystems with clear rules and strong partnerships serves as a valuable lesson for Canadian provinces aspiring to develop similar projects. By learning from NH's integrated approach and maximizing the potential of hydrogen production byproducts, Canadian provinces can accelerate their hydrogen strategies for economic and community benefits.
