While California transitioned to hydrogen and electric vehicles in response to pollution in Los Angeles, the Norwegian government enacted legislation mandating zero-emission technologies for the UNESCO World Heritage Geiranger Fjord, with the requirement set to take effect by 2026. Norwegian Hydrogen AS is already in the process of developing the Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub within Geiranger Fjord, a small-scale prototype hub scheduled to open in 2024.
The Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub serves as a prototype facility and presents a unique opportunity for the company to conceptualize, construct, and operate a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem. Hydrogen production, amounting to 1.3 tons per day, will be made possible by tapping into local hydropower sources, utilizing up to 3 MW of power through electrolysis. For this purpose, the gEL600 system from German FEST green H2systems have been selected.
In addition to the current project, Norwegian Hydrogen has embarked on several other significant ventures. Another planned hydrogen hub, known as FjordH2, is on an entirely different scale, nearly a hundred times larger, boasting renewable hydropower electrolysis capabilities of up to 250 MW when fully developed.
