Norwegian Hydrogen’s Post

Hydrogen production in a port with a local power supply is an excellent step towards sustainable energy solutions. By leveraging local and renewable energy sources like solar or wind, the production of hydrogen becomes more environmentally friendly and reduces dependency on traditional fossil fuels. This approach not only aligns with the global push for decarbonization but also addresses the specific energy needs of ports, which are critical hubs for trade and transportation. Also, excess heat and oxygen from the hydrogen production can find off-takers among the large variety of customers related to many ports making the overall performance even better.

EUR 9 million EU funding secured for the CONVEY Project at Port of Hirtshals 🚢🌱 VIREON has a key role to play in the Norwegian Hydrogen-led CONVEY project at Port of Hirtshals - Hirtshals Havn. Today we celebrate 🎉 that CONVEY was awarded a EUR 9 million grant by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership for the development of an integrated green hydrogen value chain at the Port of Hirtshals, Denmark. The project includes the construction of a 5 MW electrolyzer, a large-scale refueling station for heavy-duty transport 🚛, and distribution networks for hydrogen, oxygen, and waste heat to a diverse group of off-takers and partners. Our focus on circularity ensures that every part of the process is optimized for sustainability and efficiency. ♻️   Our CONVEY project is set to transform Hirtshals Port into a model for green ports, showcasing what the future of sustainable energy looks like in action. 🌍 A key feature of this transformation will be the establishment of a green hydrogen refueling station, designed to provide zero-emission fueling solutions specifically for the heavy-duty vehicles operating within the port. 🚛 This is a significant milestone, taking us closer to realizing the first hydrogen corridor for heavy-duty vehicles in Denmark, bridging a vital connection to Norway 🇳🇴.  With plans to extend our network, we will also connect Denmark to both Sweden 🇸🇪 and Germany 🇩🇪, enabling cross-border zero emission transportation in Northern Europe. We strongly encourage transportation companies considering hydrogen to reach out to us, so that we together can plan the continued roll-out of our network of hydrogen refueling stations. 🤝 We're deeply thankful for the trust placed in us by the EU's Clean Hydrogen Partnership and Horizon Europe, and we are excited to collaborate with our partners in developing the green port of tomorrow.    🔗 For further details on our exciting project, follow the link below 👇 Clean Hydrogen Partnership  European Commission CONVEY Partners: Norwegian Hydrogen | VIREON | Hydrogen Valley   Greenport North | Port of Hirtshals - Hirtshals Havn  Onnest | biomega® | Hirtshals Transport Center   Next Consult ApS | Vendelbo Spedition A/S | VTT #GreenHydrogen #CleanHydrogenPartnership #HorizonEurope #CONVEYProject #GreenPorts #RenewableEnergy

Ricardo has been chosen by South Australian Hydrogen Hubs Inc (SA-H2H™) to undertake a feasibility study into hydrogen technology retrofitting as a decarbonisation pathway for heavy duty vehicles in South Australia.  www.ricardo.com South Australia is currently a leading player in the emerging sustainable hydrogen industry, with the South Australian Government funding one of the largest green hydrogen electrolysers in the world and establishing a precinct at Whyalla, located close to some of the state’s prime solar and wind assets for industrial-scale green hydrogen production. However, it also faces two distinct challenges: how this hydrogen industry can be nurtured towards making significant decarbonisation progress, and how to support long-term skilled ‘green’ jobs in the region. SA-H2H™ is delivering two projects to address these challenges. The first, centred around hydrogen mobile refuelling, is underway with industry support. The second is

With abundant renewable resources and ambitious plans for sustainable energy production, green hydrogen is rising in popularity with Ukraine becoming a major supplier of this clean fuel to Europe. This not only presents a promising opportunity for energy diversification but also underscores the potential of green hydrogen to drive decarbonization efforts on a global scale.

BRAZILIAN STATE BUYS STAKE IN 10.8GW GREEN HYDROGEN PROJECT — WILL MAKE THINGS EASIER, SAYS DEVELOPER [Hydrogen Insight] The Green Energy Park in Piauí aims to export most of its volumes to Europe, but keep a quarter for local industry. A giant 10.8GW green hydrogen and ammonia complex in the Brazilian state of Piauí has raised $30m in its Series A round and secured long-term rights to hydrogen port terminal facilities in the city of Luis Correia. The Green Energy Park has received an undisclosed amount from Investe Piauí, the state government’s investment arm — which the developer’s CEO, Bart Biebuyck, had hinted at during a conference earlier this month. “If the government is really a part of... or they take ownership of the project, of course, this helps to make it much easier,” said Biebuyck during a panel session at the Reuters Hydrogen conference in Amsterdam. “It helps you enormously to get a social license inside the state,” he said, adding that while there is no mandate for domestic offtake, Green Energy Park would target 25% of its H2 toward the local market. However, most of Green Energy Park’s volumes will be shipped as ammonia to a planned import terminal on the island of Krk in Croatia, where green hydrogen could be transported via pipeline to industrial offtakers in southern Germany and northern Italy. The European Commission had earlier this year pledged to support Green Energy Park using a portion of the €2bn ($2.1bn) it has earmarked for Brazilian green hydrogen projects through its Global Gateway fund. Biebuyck is well known to the European Commission, having spent seven years as the head of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership (also known as the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking) — the public-private partnership between the Commission and trade body Hydrogen Europe that supports research and innovation in European H2 technology.
