Børsjubel og børsjubel... Basert på dagens Q2 tall og outlook, er det vanskelig å skjønne annet enn at oppsiden bør være betydelig fremover. Glem heller ikke 38.4% eierposten i vekstbomben Hexagon Purus som presenterte sitt Q2 tirsdag.

Husker jeg rett, nedgraderte iallefall 4 meglerhus Hexagon Composites i løpet av de siste par ukene før dagens Q2 presentasjon. Akkompagnert av kraftig kursnedgang, > 10%. Spennede å se om det blir noe å høre fra den kanten, i etterkant av at selskapet altså gruset analytikerenes estimater for Q2 fullstendig i morges.

Gjentar at jeg anbefaler på det sterkeste å se webcast'ene både fra Composites's og Purus's Q2 presentasjoner.


Børsjubel etter resultathopp

Endelig begynner prisøkningene å slå inn for Hexagon Composites. Det førte til en solid resultatforbedring og et kraftig kursløft.

HEX: SER STERK ETTERSPØRSEL I DE FLESTE SEGMENTER

17.8.2023 07:59 • TDN Finans •

Oslo (Infront TDN Direkt): Hexagon Composites ser sterk etterspørsel i de fleste segmenter.
Det fremgår av selskapets kvartalsrapport for andre kvartal torsdag.

"Etterspørselen er sterk i de fleste segmenter. Pågående utvikling i EU og USA og endringer i industridynamikken forventes å støtte betydelige langsiktige muligheter for ren energiteknologi", skriver selskapet i kvartalsrapporten.

Videre skriver selskapet at Hexagon Agility sin ordrebok for andre halvår 2023 er sunn med ordrereserve som strekker seg inn i 2024.

For Mobile Pipeline CNG/RNG-segmentet forventes den høye etterspørselen å fortsette, drevet av dekarboriseringsmål og mangel på rørledningsinfrastruktur. Produksjonskapasiteten for 2023 er fullbooket, med ordrereserve som strekker seg inn i 2024, skriver selskapet.

👍 Bingo! 👏

For dette må vel sies å være over all forventning allerede når det gjelder bedrede marginer, sammenlignet med de par siste kvartal. Og når man samtidig leverer en omsetningsvekst på 32% YOY i kvartalet, er jo dette helt rått. Vekst og verdi hånd i hånd! I pose og sekk.

Superstrong outlook når det gjelder alle divisjoner!

Hexagon Composites ASA: Second quarter 2023

August 17, 2023 01:00 ET| Source: Hexagon Composites ASA

17 August 2023: Hexagon Composites (OSE: HEX.OL), world leader in composite cylinder technology and related systems that enable safe delivery of clean gaseous energy for transportation, industries and homes, reported record high revenues of NOK 1 368 (1 034) million (excluding Hexagon Purus) in the second quarter 2023.  This represents 32% growth compared to the same quarter last year, driven by higher volumes and improved pricing. The EBITDA reached NOK 148 (90) million.

On 29 June, the board of directors of Hexagon Composites ASA resolved to distribute 25% of the outstanding shares in Hexagon Purus ASA as a dividend-in-kind to its shareholders and enter into a total return swap for an additional 5% of the shares, effectively reducing ownership in Hexagon Purus to 38.4%. This reduction entailed deconsolidation of Hexagon Purus from Hexagon Composites and generated an accounting gain of NOK 2.35 billion.

Chief Executive Officer statement

“We are pleased to see the profit improvement measures taking effect in Hexagon Agility, and together with high recurring volumes in Hexagon Ragasco driving increased profitability in the quarter,” says Jon Erik Engeset, CEO Hexagon Composites.

Outlook

The ongoing sustainability-driven developments in the EU and the US, as well as changes in industry dynamics, support significant long-term clean energy technology opportunities. These trends are positive for all Hexagon business units.

For further details, please see the attached second quarter 2023 report and presentation.

Presentation of the results today at 08:30 am CEST

Jon Erik Engeset (CEO) and David Bandele (CFO) will present the results at 08:30 am today in Oslo. The presentation will be held in the Auditorium at Hexagon's location in Oslo, Haakon VIIs gate 2, on the lower level.

Superior Plus kjøpte opp Certaurus 31.mai i år. Så her snakker vi gigant i ordets rette forstand. Så dermed trenger man kanskje ikke å være rakettforsker e.l. for å skjønne potensialet for Hexagon Group i denne forretningsforbindelsen i årene som kommer når man tar i betraktning eksplosjonen i opptak av RNG som energikilde i Nord-Amerika (selv om akkurat 'RNG revolusjonen' i Nord-Amerika selvfølgelig ikke står spesielt høyt på agendaen i oljetunge Norge) samtidig som Certarus, Superior Plus Corp. uttaler at "The TITAN modules have been the backbone of our fleet and we are excited to expand our operations with the new TITAN 450 that will allow us to deliver more gas with fewer trips".


Superior Plus Completes Transformative Acquisition of Certarus

May 31, 2023 08:51 AM Eastern Daylight Time

* Superior adds an industry leader in high demand, low carbon energy distribution for CNG, RNG and hydrogen

* The combination of Superior and Certarus creates a North American leader in low-carbon energy distribution helping customers achieve sustainability goals

Og her er meldingen fra Certarus, Superior Plus Corp. om gårsdagens storkontrakt med Hexagon Composites's Hexagon Agility.


Certarus Announces Largest Single Order of MSUs

Business Wire
Published Aug 10, 2023  •  3 minute read

TORONTO — Certarus, Superior Plus Corp.’s (“Superior”) low carbon energy solutions business, (TSX: SPB), announces it has placed an order for USD $54 million of Mobile Storage Units (“MSUs”) with longtime partner, Hexagon Agility (“Hexagon“), a business of Hexagon Composite. This is the single largest order of MSUs ever placed with Hexagon with deliveries expected to commence in Q1 2024.

As the industry leader in on-road low carbon energy distribution, Certarus enables customers without pipeline access to transition to lower carbon energy, including compressed natural gas (“CNG”), renewable natural gas (“RNG”), and hydrogen to help rapidly drive decarbonization efforts.

“We are continuing to invest to enable the adoption of low carbon fuels with the use of Hexagon’s next generation TITAN modules,” said Curtis Philippon, President of Certarus. “With the Superior transaction now complete, we are aggressively investing to grow as customer urgency to reduce emissions and secure reliable portable energy in a cost-effective manner accelerates. The TITAN modules have been the backbone of our fleet and we are excited to expand our operations with the new TITAN 450 that will allow us to deliver more gas with fewer trips.”

The new MSUs will be used by Certarus to transport CNG, RNG and hydrogen to decarbonize industrial applications, provide critical utility support during demand peaks and pipeline outages, and connect RNG production facilities to natural gas pipelines.

About Superior Plus

Superior is a leading North American distributor of propane, compressed natural gas, renewable energy and related products and services, servicing approximately 936,500 customer locations in the U.S. and Canada. Through its primary businesses, propane distribution and CNG, RNG and hydrogen distribution, Superior safely delivers clean burning fuels to residential, commercial, utility, agricultural and industrial customers not connected to a pipeline. By displacing more carbon intensive fuels, Superior is a leader in the energy transition and helping customers lower operating costs and improve environmental performance.

– Markedet er veldig sterkt

Hexagon Agility har fått sin største kontrakt noensinne for frakt av naturgass. Selskapet skal levere containerløsninger til en verdi av 550 millioner kroner.

Publisert 10. aug. 2023 kl. 14.42

Hexagon Agilty er Hexagon Composites viktigste datterselskap. I første kvartal hadde Agility en omsetning på nesten 900 millioner kroner, av konsernets totalomsetning på 1,1 milliard kroner. Hexagon Agility leverer komposittanker og drivstoffsystemer til kjøretøy og tanker til lagring og transport av naturgass.

Nå har en av selskapet viktigste kunder bestilt distribusjonssystemer til lagring og transport av naturgass for 550 millioner kroner. Dette er Hexagon Agilitys største kontrakt i dette segmentet noensinne.

– Dette markedet er veldig sterkt for tiden, og vi ser for oss at det vil styrke seg ytterligere fremover, sier konsernsjef Jon Erik Engeset i Hexagon Composites. 

Gradvis bedre marginer

Ti tross for at markedet er sterkt, og konsernet rapporterte en vekst i Hexagon Agility på 23 prosent i første kvartal, har marginen vært veldig svake etter pandemien. I første kvartal falt EBITDA-marginen til 4 prosent, mens målet er å nå 15 prosent i 2025.

«De to viktigste grunnene til de dårlige marginene i Hexagon Agility er litt svakere volumutvikling og fortsatt noen problemer i forsyningskjeden. Dette medfører ekstrakostnader, og at vi ikke får utnyttet apparatet vårt slik vi ønsker,» sa Engeset, da førstekvartalstallene ble presentert i mai.

– Hvordan påvirkes marginene av denne kontrakten?

– Jeg kan ikke kommentere marginene med tanke på at vi rapporterer kvartalstall i neste uke. Men vi sa på førstekvartalspresentasjonen at vi forventer gradvis bedrede marginer, og vi har ikke gått tilbake på det utsagnet, sier Engeset.

PS) Liso. Må ha det med her også siden dette er en 'samletråd'.

Litt synd at verken Finansavisen eller DN ser ut til å ha fått med seg/ har oppslag om dagens nyhet om en enkelt ordre verdt ca. 553 millioner NOK til Hexagon Composites.

75 ganger'n kan være potensialet når det gjelder de beste aktørene innen lagring av energi, sier altså analytikeren i trådstart. Tyske DER AKTIONÄR nøyer seg med å antyde 10 ganger'n for Hexagon Composites aksjen (se artikkel nederst, under børsmeldingen). En bra begynnelse det.


Hexagon Agility receives significant order for Mobile Pipeline® next generation TITAN modules from Certarus

August 10, 2023 00:44 ET| Source: Hexagon Composites ASA

10 August 2023: As previously disclosed, Hexagon Agility, a business of Hexagon Composites, signed a multi-year agreement in March 2021 with Certarus, a leading full-service provider of bulk gas transport, to supply Mobile Pipeline® modules for compressed gases.

Under this agreement, Hexagon Agility has received an additional order estimated at USD 54 million (approx. NOK 553 million). This is the largest single order for Mobile Pipeline ever received. 

As the industry leader, Certarus enables customers without pipeline access to transition to lower carbon energy, including compressed natural gas, renewable natural gas (CNG/RNG), and hydrogen rapidly driving customer decarbonization.

“We are accelerating the adoption of low carbon fuels with use of Hexagon Agility’s next generation TITAN modules,” said Curtis Philippon, President and CEO of Certarus. “The demand for our offering continues to rapidly grow as customer urgency to reduce emissions and secure reliable energy cost effectively is consistently driving us to improve our capabilities and scale our platform.  The TITAN modules have been the backbone of our fleet and we are excited to expand our operations with the new TITAN 450 that will allow us to deliver more gas with fewer trips.

Driving energy transformation

“We’re proud to have worked with Certarus for over a decade to drive energy transformation,” said Miguel Raimao, Vice President of Mobile Pipeline at Hexagon Agility. “Our newest innovation, the TITAN 450, is a game-changer. It expands our portfolio of gas transport solutions at a critical time when the world is increasingly turning to RNG as an immediate and cost-effective carbon negative solution.”

The new modules will be used by Certarus to transport CNG/RNG to decarbonize industrial applications; provide critical utility support during demand peaks and pipeline outages and connect RNG production facilities to natural gas pipelines.

Higher capacity, lighter design, lower emissions

TITAN 450 enables the safe transport of almost half a million standard cubic feet of CNG/RNG in a 40-foot module, resulting in a lower carbon footprint and reduced operating costs. The new product employs the latest technology in Type 4 composite cylinders and high-strength frame design. It delivers 25% greater gas capacity, while being 20% lighter in the same 40-foot length.

As with the current generation of TITAN products, the modules are approved for a variety of gases including CNG, RNG, Helium, and Hydrogen.

Timing

Deliveries of the new orders will commence in Q1 2024.

Tenfold ‑ Candidate Hexagon Composites: record order for mobile pipeline

In issue 31/23, DER AKTIONÄR presented shares that have long-term what it takes to increase tenfold. One of them: Hexagon Composites. The manufacturer of high-pressure containers and systems benefits from the progressive decarbonization around the world. The Group's Mobile Pipeline division can now record a new record order.

Specifically, the Hexagon Composites business unit Hexagon Agility secures the big order. Equivalent: $ 54 million. The client is once again the American company Certarus, which wants to purchase the next generation of Norwegian TITAN transport modules. The order is based on a multi-year delivery agreement that Certarus and Hexagon Composites entered into in March 2021.

"We have been proud to have been working with Certarus for over a decade to drive the energy transition," said Miguel Raimao, Vice President of Mobile Pipeline at Hexagon Agility. "Our latest innovation, the TITAN 450, is a game changer. It expands our portfolio of gas transportation solutions at a critical time, in which the world is increasingly turning to RNG as an immediate and cost-effective carbon-negative solution."

In North America, RNG ( renewable natural gas ) is becoming increasingly popular in order to sustainably promote cross-sector decarbonization. Hexagon Composites benefits from this with its innovative storage and transport solutions.

The large order clearly creates more visibility at Hexagon Composites and should also generate attractive margins. The Scandinavian title should clearly benefit from the news and should now strive towards the annual high. The share remains a clear speculative purchase.

Ja, terrenget viser seg på forbløffende vis å være tilpasningsdyktig til `kart` som til enhver tid måtte bli presentert...

De to meglerhusene som begge justerer kursmålene sine marginalt og nedgraderer HEX, er forøvrig de 2 eneste som anbefalte HOLD før kursraset på 12% som vi altså har bevitnet de 3 seneste børsdager, i etterkant av at disse 2 meglerhusene begge altså rykket ut med sine HOLD anbefalinger. De 5 andre meglehusene som dekker HEX, anbefalte alle KJØP, i forkant av de siste 3 dagers kursras!

Men dette siste står ikke i overskriften, men helt til slutt i artikkelen: "Det er totalt 5 kjøpsanbefalinger, 2 holdanbefalinger og ingen salgsanbefalinger på aksjen."

Er selv primært av 'den, gamle, sidrumpede aksjonærtypen' som investerer langsiktig. Har stor tro på Hexagon Group, og blir dermed som oftest med både opp og ned med det meste 😊


Meglerhus vraker kjøpsanbefaling to uker før kvartalstallene kommer

Både DNB Markets og SpareBank 1 Markets nedgraderer Hexagon Composites to uker før offentliggjøringen av kvartalstallene.

Publisert 3. aug. 2023 kl. 12.47

DNB Markets nedgraderer Hexagon Composites fra kjøp til hold, samtidig som de løfter kursmålet fra 30 kroner til 31 kroner. Det fremgår av en analyse fra meglerhuset onsdag kveld.

Bakgrunnen for nedgraderingen skyldes aksjens kursoppgang på nesten 50 prosent i løpet av den siste måneden, justert for utdelingen av Hexagon Purus-aksje. Meglerhuset mener at den kraftige oppgangen har spist opp oppsidepotensialet, skriver TDN.

DNB Markets forventer likevel en raskere bedring i marginene for Hexagon Agility og har derfor justert opp ebitda-estimatene for 2023 med 8 prosent, opplyses det.

I tillegg til DNB Markets sin nedgradering, har også SpareBank 1 Markets valgt å nedgradere Hexagon Composites fra kjøp til nøytral. Samtidig kutter de kursmålet fra 33 til 30 kroner. 

Meglerhuset mener at verdsettelsen av Hexagon for øyeblikket virker rimelig, etter den betydelige aksjekursoppgangen i juli. SpareBank 1 Markets har også en tro på at Hexagon kan levere bedre resultater for andre kvartal enn tidligere fryktet, da forstyrrelsene i forsyningskjeden ser ut til å ha avtatt siden første kvartal, ifølge TDN.

Det er totalt 5 kjøpsanbefalinger, 2 holdanbefalinger og ingen salgsanbefalinger på aksjen.

Da var Hexagon Comp. ned 500 millioner i børsverdi(12%) etter nedgradering av to analytikere🤔( 3 mill i omsetning/ 5,5 mrd børsverdi!)...Mener å lese en uke tidligere at Hexagon var ett av de grønne selskapene verdt å satse på...🤔Merkelige mennesker disse analytikerne...Men de skal ha det! De er flinke å spå( med god hjelp av førsteside oppslag i FA), da det viser seg å blir akkurat som de sier, pluss litt til...Så har vi analytiker i sleng, med bla Olav Chen i spissen som kauker etter høyere renter fra Norges bank! Ble de født i går disse personene!? Klarer INGEN å se sammenhengen bak inflasjonstallene og årsaken! Vi har en massiv importert inflasjon pga svak krone, som bla Norges bank kan for! Store næringer som bla sjømatnæringen vasser i penger pga nettopp en svak krone, noe som igjen gir økt inflasjonspress( økte inntekter fulgt av større lønnsoppgjør!) Vi får ikke bukt med dette nå og må akseptere et høyere inflasjonsnivå i en overgangsfase! For en fantastisk manipulativ verden🤔

Fortsatt et stykke til kursen har gått 75 ganger'n. Så her bør det være mye å hente hvis analytikeren som uttaler seg i trådstart bare er bitte litt på sporet... Ja, inklusive utbytte i form av 'dividend-in-kind' Hexagon Purus aksjer distribuert for et par uker siden, er vel kursen i dag mer eller mindre den samme som den var ved trådstart, for et knapt år siden...

Uansett, flott børsmelding i dag om ny stor ordre og nye USD 31 millioner (ca. 310 millioner NOK) inn i ordreboken til Hexagon Composites's Hexagon Agility.


Correction: Hexagon Agility receives orders for Mobile Pipeline® and RNG fuel systems from major refuse fleet in North America

July 26, 2023 05:36 ET
| Source: Hexagon Composites ASA

26 July 2023: Hexagon Agility, a subsidiary of Hexagon Composites, has received orders for Mobile Pipeline® modules and renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel systems at a total value of USD 31 million (approximately NOK 310 million) from a major refuse fleet in North America. The modules will be used in mobile refueling of the company’s growing fleet of RNG vehicles.

“We applaud our customer for their continued commitment to reduce emissions through use of renewable natural gas,” said Miguel Raimao, Vice President of Mobile Pipeline at Hexagon Agility. “These orders demonstrate the great synergy across our product portfolio. Our mobile refueling modules enable fleets to accelerate adoption of natural gas vehicles at locations lacking fueling infrastructure. Conversely, the growing demand for natural gas vehicles is driving the need for mobile refueling solutions.”

About the market

RNG results in the greatest reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of any clean energy solution available today in the transport sector. In addition, RNG is supported by a vast pipeline infrastructure in North America, allowing for immediate deployment of this cost effective and commercially available technology. Research shows that RNG derived from agricultural waste can offer more than 200% improvement in well-to-wheel emissions compared to diesel and is the only carbon negative fuel available. 

According to NGVAmerica and the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas, in 2022, 69% of all on-road fuel used in natural gas vehicles was RNG. This number grew by 17% compared to 2021 volumes, increasing 218% over the last five years.

Timing

Deliveries of the fuel systems are scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2023.

HEX(KORR): MOTTATT BESTILLINGER FOR DRIVSTOFFSYSTEMER I NORD-AMERIKA
26.7.2023 11:44 • TDN Finans •
(Korrigert melding fra selskapet)

Oslo (Infront TDN Direkt): Hexagon Composites' datterselskap Hexagon Agility har mottatt bestillinger på Mobile Pipeline og RNG drivstoffsystemer fra en større flåte i Nord-Amerika.

Det fremgår av en melding onsdag.

Bestillingen har en total verdi på 31 millioner dollar, opplyses det, som er korrigert fra den tidligere meldingen hvor det ble oppgitt at den totale verdien på bestillinger mottatt pr dags dato var 31 millioner dollar.

Drivstoffsystemene planlegges levert i fjerde kvartal 2023.

Even With OEM Compromise, Some in Trucking Industry Continue ACF Opposition

July 19, 2023

Since its inception, the Advanced Clean Fleet Rule (ACF) has turned enough heads to cause whiplash among many fleets that operate in California. Touted by some as one of the most ambitious regulatory programs in the history of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), ACF aims to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles, including all vehicles over 8,500 lbs. that operate within the Golden State.

After filing a suit against CARB last July and then withdrawing it two months later, the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) has changed its position on the matter. The group, along with Cummins, Daimler Truck North America, Ford, General Motors, Hino, Isuzu, Navistar, PACCAR, Stellantis N.V., and Volvo Group North America, recently entered into an agreement with CARB with the intention of helping fleets with the transition to the cleaner vehicle technologies mandated by ACF.
...
“California has shown the world what real climate action looks like, and we’re raising the bar yet again. Today, truck manufacturers join our urgent efforts to slash air pollution, showing the rest of the country that we can both cut dangerous pollution and build the economy of the future,” said Gov. Newsom in a recent statement.
...
As stated by GNA’s (*) Director of Compliance Sean Cocca in a recent webinar, ACF is here. It is up to fleets, the agencies that regulate them, and the OEMs and solution providers that support them to make this transition as seamless as possible, while still sustaining an efficient and streamlined supply chain along the way.

Der er du nok inne på noe.

Under Q & A sekvensen etter Q1 2023 presentasjonen i Hexagon Purus i mai ble CEO Morten Holum spurt om konkurrenter. Svaret var smått forbløffende! Holum svarte nemlig at det man så i pipeline var at i et 10 års tidsperspektiv er det det mer enn noe annet dreier seg om for Hexagon Purus rett og slett å kunne produsere nok til å greie å betjene den eksplosive etterspørselen etter selskapets produkter i markedet!

Både Hexagon Purus og Hexagon Composites har forøvrig allerede nå fulle ordrebøker til godt inn i 2024 når det gjelder produkter til transport og lagring av gass. Så godt å vite at begge bygger fabrikker og dermed øker produksjonskapasitet. Hexagon Purus har åpnet to nye i år og har flere under oppføring, i likhet med Hexagon Composites.


Edit) Beklager at det var litt rot og tull i innlegget ved første posting. Nå er det som det var ment.

Markedet for Hex produkter virker umettelig på bakgrunn av stadig nye store ordrer.

Store børsmeldte kontrakter til Hexagon Group både i forgårs og i dag, i forgårs til Purus, i dag til Composites.

Er klar over at det er postet om disse annetsteds, men siden dette er en seig samletråd (kanskje en seig monolog er mer dekkende? ;)), tar jeg de med her også, 'for the record'.

CARB and truck and engine manufacturers announce unprecedented partnership to meet clean air goals

For immediate release
DATE July 6, 2023
RELEASE NUMBER 23-18

The new Clean Truck Partnership agreement offers flexibility to address public health of Californians and the needs of fleet manufacturers that build the technology required for the transition to zero-emissions

SACRAMENTO – The California Air Resources Board announced a Clean Truck Partnership today with the nation’s leading truck manufacturers and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association that advances the development of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) for the commercial trucking industry, which includes flexibility for manufacturers to meet emissions requirements while still reaching the state’s climate and emission reduction goals.

The Clean Truck Partnership, which includes Cummins, Inc., Daimler Truck North America, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company, Hino Motors Limited, Inc., Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc., Navistar, Inc., PACCAR Inc., Stellantis N.V., Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association, and Volvo Group North America, marks a commitment from the companies to meet California’s vehicle standards that will require the sale and adoption of zero-emissions technology in the state, regardless of whether any other entity challenges California’s authority to set more stringent emissions standards under the federal Clean Air Act. In turn, CARB has agreed to work collaboratively with manufacturers to provide reasonable lead time to meet CARB’s requirements and before imposing new regulations and to support the development of necessary ZEV infrastructure.

“The unprecedented collaboration between California regulators and truck manufacturers marks a new era in our zero-emission future, where we work together to address the needs of both the trucking industry and the Californians who deserve to breathe clean air,” said CARB Chair Liane Randolph. “This agreement makes it clear that we have shared goals to tackle pollution and climate change and to ensure the success of the truck owners and operators who provide critical services to California’s economy.”

EMA President Jed Mandel said, “This agreement reaffirms EMA’s and its members’ longstanding commitment to reducing emissions and to a zero-emissions commercial vehicle future and it demonstrates how EMA and CARB can work together to achieve shared clean air goals. Through this agreement, we have aligned on a single nationwide nitrogen oxide emissions standard, secured needed lead time and stability for manufacturers, and agreed on regulatory changes that will ensure continued availability of commercial vehicles. We look forward to continuing to work constructively with CARB on future regulatory and infrastructure efforts designed to support a successful transition to ZEVs.”

The terms of the Clean Truck Partnership include:

* CARB will align with EPA’s 2027 regulations for nitrogen oxide emissions. CARB also will modify elements of the 2024 NOx emission regulations for which manufacturers will provide offsets as necessary to maintain California’s emission targets.

* CARB commits to providing no less than four years lead time and at least three years of regulatory stability before imposing new requirements. 

* Truck manufacturers commit to meeting CARB’s zero-emission and criteria pollutant regulations in the state regardless of any attempts by other entities to challenge California’s authority. 

The Clean Truck Partnership comes as California prepares for implementation of its landmark rules that put in place a phased-in transition toward 100% sale and use of zero-emissions technology for medium- and-heavy duty vehicles under CARB’s Advanced Clean Trucks and Advanced Clean Fleets rule by 2045. In March, the Biden administration approved California’s waiver under the federal Clean Air Act that allows the state to become the first in the world to require zero-emissions technology for trucks. By working together, California air quality regulators and truck manufacturers will ensure that the technology, infrastructure and supply will be available to meet the state’s ambitious clean air goals.

Agreement

Below are quotes from participating manufacturers on the Clean Truck Partnership:

“Cummins continues to be committed to working collaboratively with CARB toward a zero emissions future. We appreciate CARB’s commitment to providing flexibilities as we transition to zero emissions, and for their efforts to align with EPA’s 2027 standards. We also welcome CARB’s commitment to collaborate in the further development of ZEV infrastructure needed for our customers to adopt these technologies. These actions will enable Cummins to improve product availability for our customers, while delivering significant emissions reductions,” said Shelley A. Knust, Vice President of Product Compliance and Regulatory Affairs for Cummins Inc.

“At Daimler Truck we continue working towards achieving our goal of offering only carbon-neutral vehicles by 2039. For the overall industry transformation to become a reality, we believe the key to success is a close collaboration with all our stakeholders,” said Sean Waters, Vice President of Product Compliance and Regulatory Affairs for Daimler Truck. 

“Ford remains committed to working collaboratively with the California Air Resources Board and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association. During this extraordinary period of transition in the automotive industry, automakers need harmonization between programs to help meet our shared goal of lowering emissions from transportation to improve air quality, human health and the environment. This alignment between California and the Environmental Protection Agency’s national standards for model year 2027 and beyond will help us get more clean trucks on the road across the country,” said Cynthia Williams, Global Director Sustainability, Homologation and Compliance at Ford Motor Company.

“Navistar is committed to offering our customers products and services which support a sustainable future. This agreement enables the regulatory certainty we all need to prepare for a future which will include ever increasing volumes of low and zero-emissions technologies,” said Michael Noonan, Director Product Certification and Compliance for Navistar.

“PACCAR is committed to supporting the environmental goals of California and the nation as a whole and welcome the harmonization of future emissions regulation. This agreement provides regulatory certainty and supports a balanced transition to zero emissions by ensuring continued supply of product into California and opt-in states,” said John Rich, Chief Technology Officer for PACCAR.

“The Volvo Group is pleased to support this joint agreement between the California Air Resources Board and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association. We believe this lays the foundation for our customers to have the greatest possible product availability consistent with California’s climate change and air quality goals. Through cooperative efforts such as this, the Volvo Group believes we can achieve the quickest and least disruptive transition to a commercial zero-emission vehicle future,” said Dawn Fenton, Vice President, Government Relations & Public Affairs for Volvo Group North America.

Nyheten om at Hexagon Composites skal dele ut 25% av de utestående aksjene i Hexagon Purus som utbytte til sine aksjonærer, er jo gedigen. Har selv tenkt en stund at jeg egentlig burde hatt noe mer direkte eksponering i Purus og nå løser jo dette seg 'av seg selv'. Kursutviklingen lar jeg ligge, bortsett fra å si at jeg bekjenner tilhørighet til de som synes den begredelige kursutviklingen i Hexagon Group aksjene i kjølvannet av at Hexagon Purus børsmeldte kontrakten verdt inntil 21.5 milliarder NOK med HINO Trucks/Toyota, grenser til det absurde.

Forøvrig utvikler motivasjonen for å poste på aksjeforum seg omvendt proporsjonalt med været. Har også vært relativt stille på nyhetsfronten fra Hexagon Composites i det siste, men denne artikkelen helt tilbake fra 26.mai, bør man få med seg. Bør klart og tydelig nok illustrere vekstpotensialet for RNG innen 'heavy duty trucking' når det gjelder Hexagon Composites's klart største divisjon Hexagon Agility.


Vi treffer her på partnerne Hexagon Agility og Cummins.


ALTERNATIVE POWER NATURAL GAS

Carbon negative bio-LNG could gain traction in the U.S.

Tom Quimby, CCJ senior editor
May 26, 2023

...
For Hexagon, which maintains a fuel agnostic approach as it works with customers on natural gas, electric and hydrogen options, the upcoming 15-liter Cummins X15N is seen as a game changer that will boost interest in all gaseous fuels.

“We're super excited about the X15N launch,” said Bippus, who sees the engine as an ideal match with their fuel systems, which can offer nearly 300 diesel gas gallon equivalent.

“Now you're getting well over 1,000 miles range between fills and you have a high horsepower 15-liter engine that can haul the payload,” Bippus continued. “There's another 200,000 trucks per year that can easily access natural gas as a solution and not have to alter their fleet operation where they're now having to fill twice or three times as much. They can do these long haul runs.”

Tyskland. Politisk vedtak om/handligsplan for å opprette et nasjonalt hydrogennettverk/infrastruktur for hydrogen ble fattet i går.


Nel, Plug Power, Hexagon Purus and Co: progress is being made

Today, 07:19 ‧ Michel Doepke

In Germany, the first structures of a hydrogen network are to be set up in the coming years. On Wednesday, the Federal Cabinet passed an amendment to the Energy Industry Act with regulations on the legal and regulatory framework. In the first stage, the hydrogen core network will include important infrastructure that should go into operation by 2032, said Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens) on Wednesday. He called the law an important step.

The law regulates the approval of such a core network by the Federal Network Agency. The aim is to connect all central hydrogen locations and to take all regions of Germany into account. The operators of long-distance gas networks are to work out the hydrogen core network in the coming months, according to Habeck. Afterwards there will be a discussion with the public, the countries and various market participants.

The Federal Network Agency will finally approve the design of the network. In a second stage, a comprehensive hydrogen network development plan is to be anchored in the Energy Industry Act by the end of the year.

"Our goal is the rapid ramp-up of the hydrogen market," said the minister. This should advance decarbonization, especially in economic sectors with high greenhouse gas emissions.

Opportunity for hydrogen pure players

The electrolyzers are important for the production of green hydrogen. Nel and Plug Power, among others, manufacture such devices. As a manufacturer of high-pressure vessels and systems, Hexagon Purus could also benefit from the development of the hydrogen network. After all, the energy source that is to be transported through the pipeline in Germany must be transported and stored.

Germany's hydrogen plans are progressing. Many pure players could benefit from this in the future. Risk-conscious investors with foresight can put a few pieces of the electrolysis specialist Nel and the hydrogen high-pressure vessel manufacturer Hexagon Purus in their depot.

Hexagon Purus.

Hexagon Purus er en av hovedeierne i Norwegian Hydrogen.


Da er byggingen av Norwegian Hydrogens fabrikk på Hellesylt i gang. Produksjon av grønt hydrogen på fabrikken skal begynne allerede i desember 2023.

Nyhetsinnslag i dagens lokalsending fra NRK Møre og Romsdal (fra 7:29 til 9:23 i sendingen).

https://tv.nrk.no/serie/distriktsnyheter-moere-og-romsdal/202305/DKMR98052223/avspiller

Tydligvis bare meg som er imponert over hva Hex leverer og hvilket eventyr Purus har utviklet seg til.

Enig i alt, men vil også nevne Hexagon Ragasco som leverte EBITDA 25% og EBIT 20.2% av omsetning på 188 millioner NOK i kvartalet.

Med en eierpost på 68.39% av aksjene i Hexagon Purus som ekspanderer og utvikler seg på mektig vis, i tett samarbeid med ditto partnere, ser jeg lyst på fremtiden til Hexagon Composites. Også når det gjelder egen virksomhet i divisjonene Hexagon Agility, Hexagon Ragasco og Hexagon Digital Wave.

Når det gjelder Hexagon Agility, rammes man som bilbransjen generelt fortsatt av problemer i forsyningskjedene (komponentmangler, prisstigning), men sier i dag at man nå ser en gradvis bedring her. Videre venter man på Cummins's 15 l gassmotor. Kommer i 2024 og vil ifølge ledelsen være en 'game changer' som innebærer at gassdrift med mye lavere klimagassutslipp (i særdeleshet når gassen er RNG/fornybar naturgass) kan erstatte diesel også innen long haul/det aller tyngste tungtransportsegmentet. Og OEMs og 'fleets' i f.eks. California, for å nevne de som har kommet/gått lengst, kan ikke velge om de vil kutte utslipp eller ei. De må kutte utslipp innen bestemte tidsfrister, gitt av politiske vedtak. Når det gjelder Mobile Pipeline (som er en del av Hexagon Agility) er etterspørselen veldig høy, og ledelsen rapporterte i dag om full ordrebok her for 2023 og ordrer inn i 2024.

Så det meste ser bra ut når det gjelder fremtidsutsikter. Det Hexagon Composites MÅ levere på når det gjelder egen virksomhet, er gradvis forbedring av marginene innen Hexagon Agility. Hexagon Composites har en uttrykt målsetning om EBITDA > 10%. I dag (ca. 7.35%) er det et stykke dit. Så sent som 17.april i år tiltrådte Hans Peter Havdal som ny CEO i Hexagon Agility, og Havdal er dermed den som fremover skal lede arbeidet der forbedring av lønnsomheten innen Hexagon Composites's største divisjon vil være 'key'. Havdal bekler fra mars i år samtidig rollen som COO i Hexagon Group etter tidligere å ha vært styremedlem i Hexagon Group. Sagt med andre ord, en ny leder man opplagt har stor tro på så blir spennende å se hva Havdal får til.

Fra dagens Q1 2023 rapport:

Looking ahead

The fundamental market drivers are strong for all Hexagon’s business segments. The launch of Cummins’ 15-liter natural gas engine in 2024 will increase the addressable heavy duty truck market for CNG systems by a factor of three, but short term we experience a somewhat softer demand in this segment. The outlook for Mobile Pipeline systems remains very strong, albeit also with temporary supply chain challenges, and
Hexagon Digital Wave sees continued strong growth, partly driven by requalification of older Mobile Pipeline units. Hexagon Ragasco enjoys robust demand in its home markets and has a promising pipeline of opportunities across markets and segments. Hexagon Purus is faced with a booming market in all its segments and is on track to deliver on its highly ambitious plans.

Best regards,
Jon Erik Engeset
President & CEO, Hexagon Group


Her linker til dagens Q1 2023 rapport, presentasjon og webcast:

https://hexagongroup.com/reports/quarterly-reports

"skuffelsene" var meldt i Q4, men folk håpet kanskje på tydeligere tegn på trendskifte med høyere priser og lavere kostnader (=økt inntjening)?
Utsettelser av salg (til ny motor kommer i 2024) for heavy trucks var meldt tidligere.
Største take away synes jeg at Purus sitt hårete mål om 4-5 mrd i omsetning i 2025 er godt i rute. (dog med 1 år forsinkelse i positiv cashflow derfra).
Betrygende at Digital Wave lever positive resultater, godt å ha med at et vekstområde leverer mens det vokser.
Hva er de nye mørke skyene dere andre ser? (siden aksjekursen går nedover)

Problemet her nå og hos andre innen fornybart er at det er vrient å få landet store kontrakter i lavkonjuktur tider. Selskaper vegrer seg og holder igjen. På sikt har jeg knalltro, men denne nedgangen vi opplever nå er naturlig og jeg holder meg på sidelinjen en periode nå.

Hexagon launches its extended aftermarket offering, Hexagon Agility FleetCare

May 04, 2023 01:30 ET| Source: Hexagon Composites ASA Follow

Transportation is responsible for 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and there is a strong need to accelerate the adoption of clean fuels in transportation. Over the past two decades, Hexagon Agility has spearheaded the use of compressed (renewable) natural gas in the transportation sector. Today, the Hexagon Group offers the broadest range of clean fuel solutions for commercial vehicles and gaseous energy transportation.

Having put over 70,000 vehicles on the road, Hexagon Agility sees the need for a step-change in after-sales service support in the industry.

“Maintaining and servicing a clean fuel vehicle must be as easy, if not easier than for vehicles powered by traditional fuels,” says Eric Bippus, EVP Sales and Systems Development. “Our new offering represents a fundamental shift in aftersales services.”

Breathe easy with Hexagon Agility FleetCare

Four pillars define Hexagon Agility FleetCare’s comprehensive total life cycle service portfolio:

* Technical Support Center:
Service specialists exclusive to clean fuel vehicles; experts with an average of 30+ years’ experience

* Technical Training Academy:
Custom training to meet specific fleet maintenance and driver needs

* Mobile Field Service:
Comprehensive clean fuel service with total lifecycle solutions, field specialists are strategically located to support fleets

* Hexagon Agility Genuine Parts:
Quality OEM replacement parts; when you see the Hexagon Agility Genuine Parts brand, you are getting OEM quality replacement 

Introducing Hexagon Agility’s extended aftermarket offering

Hexagon Agility’s fuel systems have a useful life of 20 years. On average fleets will retire vehicles after 10 years of operation - long before the end-of-life of the fuel system. To leverage its full lifespan, Hexagon Agility is introducing an extended aftermarket offering Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program. The CPO program will provide a thorough factory inspection and re-certification of the fuel system to install on new trucks for the secondary market, or refurbish for same fleet, improving sustainability and providing lower total cost of ownership.

New Eastern region facility for clean fuel fleets

A new Hexagon Agility service and installation facility, strategically located near OEMs and Hexagon Agility’s Salisbury, NC plant is scheduled to open in June 2023.

“Hexagon Agility’s new 40,000 sq ft facility will house parts, service, and installation operations to support the expansion of Hexagon Agility FleetCare total lifecycle portfolio. The facility will serve as the East Coast warehouse location with Hexagon Agility’s Genuine Parts also available at a “Will Call” counter. Natural gas fuel system refurbishment and service will also be available, and the facility will serve as a staging location for Eastern Region remote field service technicians,” says Brad Garner, SVP Hexagon Agility FleetCare.

Hexagon Agility FleetCare is the only aftermarket service solely dedicated to clean fuel fleets, assisting them in achieving higher uptime and lower cost of ownership.

Kan noen bekrefte ryktet om at Storulv er på vei inn her ?

Da begynner store ting allerede å skje når det gjelder Cummins's bebudede 15 l gassmotor som vil medføre at gassdrift kan konkurrere med diesel innen alle segmenter av tungtransporten i Nord-Amerika. Fra nå av også det aller tyngste Class 8, takket være at Cummins's 15 l gassmotor nå altså nærmer seg komersiell lansering og skalering.

Har ingen dekning for å påstå at Hexagon Agility vil levere drivstoffsystemer inklusive tanker i akkurat dette konkrete caset, men det jeg kan si, er at Hexagon Composites's Q4 2022 presentasjon i februar i år overhodet ikke levnet noen tvil om at ledelsen i selskapet så frem til lanseringen av Cummins's 15 l gassmotor i markedet med svært så stor entusiasme. Det uttrykte man i klartekst.


Walmart Teams up With Cummins and Chevron to Debut First 15-liter Renewable Natural Gas Engine on the Road in North America

Outfitted with the inaugural Cummins X15N™ CNG engine designed for heavy-duty transportation fleets, the first-of-its-kind truck will travel across the country fueling up at Chevron CNG locations to demonstrate the next-era in lower carbon.

April 18, 2023 08:15 AM Eastern Daylight Time

BENTONVILLE, Ark. & SAN RAMON, Calif. & COLUMBUS, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Walmart is reaching a new destination in its goal for a zero-emissions transportation fleet with the debut of the first North American—and the first of five— 15-liter compressed natural gas engine that will be incorporated into Walmart’s private fleet. The X15N™ engine is supplied by Cummins and fueled by Chevron with compressed natural gas (CNG) linked to renewable natural gas. The Walmart truck will make its inaugural trip from Indiana to California, making pit stops along the way to refuel at Chevron stations.

Last year, Walmart announced several first-of-their-kind initiatives among its Class 8 transportation fleet as the retailer pursues its goal to achieve zero emissions across global operations by 2040. And just in time for Earth Week, the introduction of this CNG-powered truck is an important milestone in the retailer’s journey.

“Walmart transportation is focused on the continuous piloting of solutions that aren’t just changing the industry, but are having a lasting impact on the world,” said Fernando Cortes, senior vice president of transportation at Walmart. “We are proud to team with Cummins and Chevron to develop industry-leading advancements that pave toward a lower carbon future.”

While trucking has historically relied on diesel to fuel its engines, a move toward renewable natural gas is an important step toward lowering fleet emissions. Renewable natural gas is produced when biomethane from decomposing organic matter – such as cow manure or landfill waste – is captured, treated and processed into natural gas. Methane that is not captured and processed is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) at trapping heat within the atmosphere leading to climate change.

“Working with partners like Walmart to test new products like the X15N gives Cummins valuable real-world data that helps us validate our engines prior to moving into full production,” said Puneet Jhawar, general manager – Spark Ignited Products for Cummins. “Chevron has also been very helpful in our test; to help increase CNG fuel availability that will enable adoption of alternate technologies faster.”

At the end of the road, it will be featured at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in Anaheim, California, on May 1-4. At ACT, the vehicle will be on display and available for attendees to jump in and take a ride.

“Chevron is constantly pursuing solutions that drive progress toward a lower carbon future,” said Andy Walz, Chevron’s president of Americas Products. “Partnering with Walmart and Cummins on the road trip and demonstration can help us deliver that progress today for the transportation, the industry, and customers who rely on all of our products to advance a lower carbon economy.”

Som man skjønner hvis man tar seg tid til å lese dette, kan det forventes eksplosiv vekst i opptak av RNG/biometan som drivstoff innen mellomtung- og tungtransport i USA fremover. I særdeleshet vil Cummins nye 15 l motor åpne for helt nye muligheter innen det aller tyngste transportsegmentet!

Dermed oppleves det som verdifullt å vite at Hexagon Agilitys markedsandel når det gjelder drivstoffsystemer inklusive tanker innen gassdrevet mellomtung- og tungtransport i USA er smått utrolige 80%...! Se dokumentasjon når det gjelder markedsandel nederst i dette innlegget, fra lesverdig artikkel fra trucknews.com.


RNG accounts for 69% of on-road natural gas vehicle fuel

By Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas | April 13, 2023

Natural Gas Vehicles for America (NGVAmerica) and Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG Coalition) today announced that 69 percent of all on-road fuel used in natural gas vehicles in calendar year 2022 was renewable natural gas (RNG), surpassing the previous year’s record-breaking level.  

Captured above ground from organic material in agricultural, wastewater, landfill, or food waste, RNG can produce carbon-negative results when fueling on-road vehicles like short- and long-haul trucks, transit buses, and refuse and recycling collection vehicles. California Air Resources Board data confirms that the annual average carbon intensity (CI) value of California’s bio-CNG vehicle fuel portfolio in its Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program is carbon negative and below zero at -92.26 gCO2e/MJ.

RNG use as a transportation fuel grew 17 percent over 2021 volumes, up 218 percent from 2018 levels.  NGVAmerica and RNG Coalition report that in 2022 a total of 663 million gallons (GGE) of natural gas were used as motor fuel. Of that, 457 million gallons (GGE) were from renewable sources.

“RNG-fueled heavy-duty vehicles are a scalable, affordable, and carbon-free-today solution for freight and transit fleets of all sizes,” said Dan Gage, president of NGVAmerica. “And with the upcoming availability of a 15-liter engine option, commercial fleet applications with the biggest torque and horsepower needs will also be able to transition to ultra-clean renewable natural gas motor fuel and displace diesel, saving on fueling costs and slashing their greenhouse gas emissions.”

“Renewable Natural Gas supply is growing,” said Johannes Escudero, founder and CEO of Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas. “With 281 RNG facilities transforming waste into fuel, and another 476 planned or under construction, we are increasingly able to affordably offer consumers the opportunity to decarbonize with RNG - the cleanest of any fuel available today.” 

RNG use as a motor fuel in 2022 displaced 5.63 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Put into perspective, RNG motor fuel use last year:

 •Lowered greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to removing the GHG from almost 14 billion miles driven by the average passenger car;

•Eliminated CO2 emissions, equivalent to removing CO2 emissions from almost 633 million gallons of gasoline consumed; and 

•Sequestered carbon, equal to growing over 93 million tree seedlings for 10 years, or 6.66 million acres of U.S. forests for one year.

Avtalene kommer tett nå! Norwegian Hydrogen lander i dag nok en spennende avtale!

Norwegian Hydrogen driver med produksjon og distribusjon av hydrogen, men hydrogenet må lagres og transporteres forsvarlig. Hva er da mer naturlig her enn at Norwegian Hydrogen skaffer seg den nødvendige teknologien og de nødvendige produktene til lagring og transport av hydrogenet hos en av sine hovedeiere Hexagon Purus som er globalt markedsledende når det gjelder teknologi og produkter for lagring og transport av hydrogen?


Press release

Norwegian Hydrogen closes deal with billion NOK potential

Growth company Norwegian Hydrogen has partnered with German cleantech company Quantron AG to become a strategic partner in Quantron´s Clean Transportation Alliance and support the unique Quantron-as-a-Service offering for customers in the transport and logistics industry. Norwegian Hydrogen is a preferred partner for Quantron throughout the Nordic region and in Norway, the collaboration is even closer.

Since the Quantron-as-a-Service concept works in such a way that Quantron’s customers will only fuel their trucks with hydrogen from Quantron’s preferred hydrogen suppliers, this is a substantial contract for green hydrogen producer Norwegian Hydrogen and their refueling company Vireon.

- Norwegian Hydrogen is now working to establish hydrogen refueling stations in key areas of the Nordic region. This is being done through its newly established subsidiary Vireon. "The agreement with Quantron is a fantastic start for this first step of our planned roll-out in Europe. At the same time, it is a tremendous recognition that such an innovative player as QUANTRON has chosen us as a partner. We look forward to see hundreds of Quantron trucks operating on Nordic roads over the next few years," says Jens Berge, CEO of Norwegian Hydrogen.

New standard

Quantron is a German-based company that specializes in zero-emission passenger and freight transport and is offering a unique value proposition with Quantron-as-a-Service to its customers.

- Quantron is setting a new standard for zero-emission transportation of goods and people. We are working on holistic solutions that include not only the vehicles themselves, but also the energy supply and the necessary infrastructure. In Norwegian Hydrogen and Vireon, we have an excellent partner to realize our ambitions in the Nordic market," says Anil Reddi, Director Quantron-as-a-Service at Quantron.

Norwegian Hydrogen produces, distributes and supplies green hydrogen for both mobility and industrial purposes.As part of this strategy, the company is developing a number of hydrogen projects in the Nordic region, including the development of a network of refueling stations in all Nordic countries under the brand name Vireon. The partnership with QUANTRON will contribute to accelerating Vireon’s ambition to roll out a network of 30-50 large-scale hydrogen refueling stations by 2027.

The first step

There is a strong interest and demand for Fuel Cell powered heavy-duty / long-haul trucks in the Nordics and in the rest of Europe. Vireon estimates that there will be more than 1,500 hydrogen-powered trucks in the Nordic countries before 2027. Those vehicles will require an extensive network of refueling stations and the delivery of more than 20,000 tons of hydrogen per year. From there on, the number of trucks will grow rapidly.

- Our planned refueling activities in the Nordics provide a very good basis for further expansion into Europe in the coming years", Berge says.

Major CO2 savings

It is estimated that 1500 hydrogen trucks on Nordic roads will save up to 250,000 tons of CO2 per year compared to diesel vehicles. This is more than the annual CO2 consumption of all inhabitants in a fairly large Norwegian city.
/
- We are proud of what we at Quantron and Norwegian Hydrogen can achieve through this partnership. Together, we empower Quantron's vision of providing clean and emission-free transportation solutions that have a positive impact on the future of our planet," says Michael Perschke, CEO of Quantron.

About Vireon

Vireon aims to be the leading hydrogen refueler for heavy-duty trucks in the Nordics. Founded in 2023 as a subsidiary of Norwegian Hydrogen AS, the company is already engaged in establishing hydrogen refueling infrastructure with stations across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.

Backed by strong owners and with a highly dedicated team, Vireon focuses on enabling zero emission for heavy-duty trucks and other large applications. Growth will happen both organically and through mergers and acquisitions. Vireon actively seeks partnerships to strengthen its position and accelerate the green energy transition towards zero emissions.
