Support for hydrogen projects in the maritime sector
Enova støtter hydrogenprosjekter i maritim sektor
Background information
Enova is a state enterprise, owned by the Ministry of Climate and Environment, assigned to contribute to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, development of energy and climate technology.
The Norwegian government has ambitions linked to the development of hydrogen and wants to contribute to building a coherent value chain for hydrogen produced with no or low emissions. Since hydrogen can become a central climate solution in tomorrow's Norway. This particularly applies to the maritime sector and industry.
Content of measure
As part of the government’s policy for transition to a low-emission society, Enova has decided to support production and use of hydrogen in the maritime sector. In June 2022, Enova announced an investment support for several projects amounting to NOK 1.12 billion (€112 million).
Enova has decided to support five production facilities for renewable hydrogen along the Norwegian coast with NOK 669 million (€66.9 million) and building of seven hydrogen powered vessels with NOK 451.3 million (€45.1 million).
The five production facilities for renewable hydrogen, supported by Enova, will establish an infrastructure that will enable further technology development in the industry. The hubs will also be able to supply fuel to hydrogen-powered vessels operating in the Norwegian coast. Enova has in addition supported building seven hydrogen- and ammonia-powered vessels.
The production facilities will be located in Glomfjord, Rørvik, Hitra, Florø, and Kristiansand.
