Hydrogensatsing med fokus på Norden - temadag i Kristiansund i neste uke.
Onsdag 01. mars fra 1030 -1600 Et meget spenstig program. Her tror jeg det kommer til skje ting i løpet av det neste året. Skal bli spennende å se hva som kommer ut av dagen. Interessen for hydrogen som drivstoff er sterkt økende

Aussie firm inks deal to supply hydrogen vehicles to Norway

By Jade Credentino
February 24 2023 - 5:46pm

Australian hydrogen fuel-cell carmaker H2X Global has signed a deal with Norwegian Hydrogen to develop a ‘full-service' framework for commercial hydrogen transportation in the Nordic region.

The memorandum of understanding will see the pair collaborate on the commercial supply of hydrogen and a range of hydrogen fuel-cell commercial vehicles for the Nordic region starting late this year.

https://www.theleader.com.au/story/8099306/aussie-firm-inks-deal-to-supply-hydrogen-vehicles-to-norway/

En liten tilføyelse når det gjelder meldingen KSU.NO var aller først ute med i går (se innlegg jeg 'svarer på' her for mer). Dagens oppslag om meldingen hos Hydrrogen Central er identisk bortsett fra på slutten der vi i artikkelen til Hydrogen Central får vite litt mer om Norwegian Hydrogens australske partner H2X Global Limitid. H2X Global Limitid har nemlig allerede vunnet et anbud i Sverige om leveranse av hydrogendrevne kjøretøy. Det første skal leveres allerede i 2023 og alle innen 2025.

Så det vi står overfor her er ikke noe som ligger langt der fremme i tid et sted, men snarere et prosjekt med sterkt 'her og nå preg' når det gjelder oppstart. Er ikke i tvil om at Hexagon Purus vil bli sterkt involvert så dette blir veldig spennende å følge.


H2X Global Partners with Norwegian Hydrogen In The Decarbonization of Commercial Transport Fleets Through The Offering of a Total Ecosystem

February 24, 2023
...
This follows H2XGlobal’s recent announcement through its subsidiary H2X Gothenburg AB’s the award of the public tender for the supply vehicles in the 3.5T, 5.0T, and 18T categories. It is planned that the first vehicles will be operational at the end of 2023 and all vehicles to be fully operational by 2025, supporting the production of vehicles for the Northern European regions in line with Norwegian Hydrogen’s development and operation of hydrogen refueling stations for heavy duty applications in the Nordics.

kelle Ja feelgood så det rekker og nå plutselig mye konkret, tilsynelatende godt koordinert som manifisterer seg på en gang, som du påpeker. Imponerende og ikke minst veldig artig å følge med på

Stor takk til deg R A for alt du bringer til torgs. Dette blir stort ! Hydrogenfabrikken på Hellesylt vil være klar for produksjon alle rede fra høsten av.
Skal bli kjekt å se hvor stor dekning Temadagen i Kr-sund får fra lokalavisa neste uke. Samarbeidet mellom de forskjellige organisasjonene ser ut for å være meget godt planlagt og at det kommer til å skje store ting i nærmeste fremtid.

Hexagon Purus.

Det er nye tider og mens man generelt ikke finner altfor mye dekning av disse i våre etablerte finansmedia, kan man istedet gjøre svært interessant funn i media utenfor landets grenser og her hjemme på 'steder der ingen kunne tro at man kunne finne slikt no'...

I en artikkel publisert på KSU.NO for litt over en månedes tiden siden, kunne man lese at Norwegian Hydrogen vil bygge hydrogenfyllestasjon i Kristiansund (se innlegg 18.01.2023 kl 12:42 her på denne tråden). Nå er det kanskje ikke så rart at KSU.NO publiserer nyheter om noe som skal skje i Kristiansund, men i dag slår nettstedet til igjen med en nyhet jeg ikke finner noen andre steder. En nyhet, i form av en melding, jeg vil kalle både interessant og signifikant! Nyheten om at Norwegian Hydrogen og den australske produsenten av hydrogendrevne kjøretøy H2X Global Limitid har inngått samarbeid med sikte på å tilby intet mindre enn et totalt økosystem for levering av hydrogen, fyllestasjoner og kjøretøy!

At dette vil generere rikelig med opdrag for Hexagon Purus, er det neppe tvil om. Det bør i den forbindelse være nok å referere til dagens nyhet fra Polen (se innlegg her på denne tråden 23.02.2023 kl 12:12). Hexagon Purus er hertil en av de største aksjonærene i Norwegian Hydrogen.


Hydrogensatsing med fokus på Norden - temadag i Kristiansund i neste uke

ARTIKKEL Redaksjonen
23 februar 2023 09:33

Den australske produsenten av hydrogenkjøretøy H2X Global Limited, inngår samarbeid med Norwegian Hydrogen for å avkarbonisere kommersiell landtransport gjennom å tilby et totalt økosystem for levering av hydrogen, fyllestasjoner og kjøretøy.

Den nye satsingen vil fokusere på Norden, og selskapene vil utvikle et felles kommersielt og operativt rammeverk for transportører i nærheten av Norwegian Hydrogens lokasjoner, for overgangen til hydrogen som nullutslippsløsning i fremtiden.

Vil dekke alle komponenter

Intensjonen med samarbeidet er å tilby en komplett løsning for klimavennlig kommersiell transport gjennom en kanal. Dette kan være produksjon og kjøp av grønne hydrogen-, distribusjons- og
hydrogenfyllestasjoner, og å gi kundene levering og vedlikehold av kjøretøy, for igjen å kunne løse utfordringen kommersielle aktører møter med å få et fullservicetilbud for utslippsfri transport.

Bruker man Norwegian Hydrogens anlegg på Hellesylt som eksempel, vil hydrogenproduksjonen på 1,4 tonn om dagen, hvis den brukes til å redusere utslippene i transportsektoren, fjerne mer enn 
9000 tonn CO2 hvert år. Dette vil gi mer enn 9 millioner km utslippsfri tungtransport per år.

Temadag i Kristiansund for grønn landtransport

Neste uke møtes selskapene i Kristiansund for en temadag om grønn landtransport. 

Det haster med å redusere utslipp i transportsektoren, og løsningene er tilgjengelige. Dette skal H2X og Norwegian Hydrogen snakke om med potensielle kunder som inviteres til å lære mer om hvordan de kan ta en ledende rolle i det grønne skiftet.

Muliggjøre nullutslipp

- Norwegian Hydrogens fokus er å muliggjøre nullutslipp for våre kunder. Det er viktig at våre kunder også har tilgang til hydrogenbiler, og vi er glade for å samarbeide med H2X for å presentere en
fullpakkeløsning, sier CTO i Norsk Hydrogen, Øystein Tørlen.

- Overgangen til utslippsfri transport gjennom å bruke hydrogen som energibærer er avgjørende for å bidra til å eliminere de økende utslippene fra transportsektoren. Denne sektoren står for 23 % (Kilde: IEA) av de globale energirelaterte CO2-utslippene og er den raskest voksende bidragsyteren til klimaendringene. Samarbeid mellom hydrogenprodusenter som Norwegian Hydrogen og en  nyttekjøretøyprodusent som H2X er avgjørende i reduksjonen av utslipp, og tilbyr transportører et godt alternativ, sier Bill Moss, H2X Global's Head of Sales & Marketing. 

Nordisk nettverk av hydrogenfyllestasjoner

Norwegian Hydrogen kunngjorde i fjor at de inngikk et partnerskap med det USA-baserte selskapet FirstElement Fuel og det japanske selskapet Mitsui for å bygge et nordisk nettverk av hydrogenfyllestasjoner, og dette partnerskapet vil bidra til å akselerere suksessen til denne utrullingen.

– Lastebiler trenger fyllestasjoner og fyllestasjoner trenger lastebiler. Dette gjør samarbeidet mellom våre to selskaper til en perfekt match. Vi håper å kunngjøre de første lastebilene og fyllestasjonene som er bestilt på grunnlag av dette partnerskapet ganske snart, avslutter leder for refueling i Norwegian Hydrogen, Per Øyvind Voie.

Så over grensen til Sverige til nyheten fra lørdag om at nok en viktig brikke nå er på plass, i det samme 'spillet'. I Sverige har nemlig Norwegian Hydrogen mottatt 20 millioner SEK fra svenske myndigheter for å bygge hydrogenfyllestasjoner! Heia Sverige! Norwegian Hydrogen benytter sjansen til å oppfordre norske myndigheter til å lære av svenskene her... Man kan jo håpe, men...


Norwegian Hydrogen Receives SEK 20 Million to Build Hydrogen Fueling Stations in Sweden

February 18, 2023

Norwegian Hydrogen receives SEK 20 million to build hydrogen fueling stations in Sweden.

Norwegian Hydrogen has received SEK 20 million in grants from the Swedish Energy Agency for the construction of a hydrogen filling station in Visby on Gotland.

Per Øyvind Voie, Managing Director for refueling in Norwegian Hydrogen, said:

"This marks the start of building a new network of hydrogen filling stations aimed directly at heavy transport and is thus a major and important milestone for us. When the station opens, it will have a capacity of at least 1500kg of hydrogen per day, which is enough to fill 30-40 heavy-duty trucks.”

Covers up to 100% of the cost

The support Norwegian Hydrogen has received comes from a support program called Regional Electrification Pilots. Through the program, the Swedish Energy Agency has provided support for a total of 13 new hydrogen fueling stations. The grant is intended to cover 100% of the costs, but Voie assumes that the total cost will be somewhat higher than SEK 20 million.

“We see that the prices of equipment have increased significantly lately, and the grant will therefore not cover the entire investment. The overall support rate will nevertheless be very good compared to for instance in Norway.”

Asking Norwegian politicians to learn

In Norway, the maximum support rate for filling stations is 40%. But first, an end customer must have invested in heavy trucks. “I would encourage Norwegian politicians to learn from Sweden. The infrastructure must be in place first if we are to succeed in cutting emissions from heavy transport, and then the level of support must be increased. In Sweden, they launch competitions to decide who should receive grants to build their infrastructure.”

Will build networks across the Nordic region

Norwegian Hydrogen has great ambitions and is in the process of building a network of hydrogen fueling stations aimed at heavy transport throughout the entire Nordic region. Last week, it was announced that the company acquired HydRe Oy, a Helsinki-based company hydrogen fueling company, focusing on Finland and the Baltics.

“We are actively working to find relevant locations, develop them, get in touch with potential customers, and trigger public support in order to expand the network as quickly as possible. Our goal is for trucks and other heavy vehicles to be able to drive emission-free. Then the infrastructure must be in place – and we will take a lead I this process,” concludes Per Øyvind Voie.

5 state hydrogen gas stations will be built in large cities of Poland

24 hours ago
Author:Anastasia Bykova

The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Resources of Poland signed an agreement with PAK-PCE Stacje H2 on co-financing the construction of 5 state hydrogen gas stations. About it Logist.Today learned from material published on the portal logistyka.rp.pl.

Stations under the Neso brand will appear in Wroclaw, Rybnik, Lublin, Gdansk and Gdyn. They should be built by June 3, 2024. 57.4 million zlotys ( 12 million euros ) will be allocated for the implementation of the project. Part of the funds will be provided by the National Environmental Protection Fund. This was explained in the fund by the high cost and deficit of solutions for the introduction of hydrogen technology.

According to Andrzej Yanishovsky, chairman of the board of PAK-PCE Stacje H2, the first installations will be scarce and the company will bring profit only after 2-5 years.

To begin with, the stations plan to use about 30% of the containers of 5 hydrogen gas stations, which will allow more than 10 thousand refueling of buses and other hydrogen vehicles. It is assumed that with the development of the hydrogen market in Poland, the use of hydrogen stations will increase and by 2032 will reach about 85%. Additionally, a project is being implemented in the field of hydrogen transport for the purchase of hydrogen locomotives, which will be used to transport hydrogen fuel.

The new 5 plants will be refueled from the semi-trailers of the German company Wystrach, each of which carries a ton of hydrogen. Compressors and station equipment will be supplied by the Norwegian company NEL. Stations will compress hydrogen to 700 or 350 barrels. One ton of fuel is enough for 50 buses with full refueling.

The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Resources expects that next week it will sign two more contracts for the construction of hydrogen stations: in Tõkhah and Sverklyant. In addition, today PAK-PCE Stacje H2 is completing the construction of the first hydrogen station in Warsaw.

Hexagon Purus.

Tyske DER AKTIONÄR har gjort litt godt gravearbeid og kommet frem til at Hexagon Purus nok er med her, i en nylig inngått avtale mellom den portugisiske bussprodusenten CaetanoBus og Deutsche Bahn (DB) om leveranser av 60 hydrogenbusser.


Deutsche Bahn beställer 60 vätgasbussar från Caetanobus

Publicerad av
markku björkman - 17 feb, 2023

Tyska tågoperatören Deutsche Bahn går vidare med omvandlingen till ett klimatneutralt företag och beställer för första gången ett större antal vätgasbussar till sin bussdivision DB Regio Bus.

De första fordonen är planerade att köra i Niedersachsen och Schleswig-Holstein i början av 2024. Bakom beställningen ligger DB:s tydliga mål att fasa ut den sista dieselbussen 2038.

Med cirka 470 miljoner passagerare per år är DB Regio Bus den största leverantören av busstjänster i Tyskland.

Evelyn Palla, styrelseledamot för Regional Transport DB AG:

-Vätgasbussar är klimatvänliga och har ytterligare en fördel: De fylls snabbare än batterierna i en ren elbuss laddas. Med sin långa räckvidd kan vätgasbussar ersätta befintliga dieselfordon särskilt väl på landsbygden. Genom att beställa 60 vätgasbussar tar vi ytterligare ett steg mot att säga adjö till dieseln.

Bränsleceller från Toyota

Bussarna levereras av den portugisiska tillverkaren Caetanobus; bränslecellerna kommer från Toyota. Ramavtalet som nu är överenskommet löper till 2026 och förutsätter 60 bussar. Ordervolymen för dessa fordon är nästan 40 miljoner euro. Fem av de nya fordonen kommer att användas i Jever-området och två i Rendsburg-Eckernförde.

De nya H2 CityGold-bussarna är tolv meter långa och har 34 sittplatser och 47 ståplatser. Passagerarutrymmet har inga trappsteg och erbjuder ett två meter brett utrymme för rullstolar. Med en tank vätgas kan fordonen färdas mellan 350 (vinter) och 550 (sommar) kilometer.

https://www.transportochlogistik.se/20230217/16669/deutsche-bahn-bestaller-60-vatgasbussar-fran-caetanobus

Noe annet som er meget interessant her er at bussene som CaetanoBus skal levere til Deutshe Bahn vil være utstyrt med brenselsceller produsert av Toyota (ref. utdrag fra svensk artikkel gjengitt over). Nok et prosjekt/konsortium hvor disse to er involvert!


Og her er børsmeldingen om avtalen mellom Hexagon Purus og CaetanoBus som DER AKTIONÄR viser til:

Hexagon Purus selected by CaetanoBus as preferred supplier of high-pressure hydrogen fuel systems for fuel cell transit buses

October 31, 2022 - Stock Exchange Release

Hexagon Purus, a world leading supplier of zero emission mobility solutions, has entered into a four-year supply agreement with CaetanoBus as their preferred supplier of hydrogen fuel systems for serially produced fuel-cell transit buses. Hexagon Purus is already a supplier to CaetanoBus and has delivered several hydrogen fuel systems. This agreement further formalizes and cements the relationship between the two partners.

The hydrogen fuel systems will be supplied from Hexagon Purus’ facility in Kassel, Germany. The estimated potential value over the lifetime of the frame agreement is approximately EUR 35 million (approximately NOK 350 million).

Fra gårsdagens artikkel i DER AKTIONÄR:

Starting shot for hydrogen ‑ Buses: Deutsche Bahn invests – Hexagon Purus benefits

02/18/2023 ‧ Michel Doepke

Deutsche Bahn ( DB ) has ordered a larger number of hydrogen buses for the first time. As the group announced on Thursday, the first vehicles are expected to be in Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein in early 2024. The hydrogen specialist Hexagon Purus should benefit twice.

Overall, the framework contract between DB and the Portuguese manufacturer Caetanobus provides for the delivery of 60 buses by 2026. According to the announcement, the order volume is 40 million euros. With a hydrogen tank filling, the vehicles can travel between 350 ( winter ) and 550 ( summer ) kilometers.

Hexagon Purus most likely supplier

Exciting: The Norwegian manufacturer of high-pressure hydrogen containers and systems, Hexagon Purus, only concluded a framework contract with CaetanoBus at the end of October 2022. The Scandinavians were chosen as the preferred supplier as part of the deal. Duration: four years.

But DB is also a customer of Hexagon Purus. To match this, the railway recently ordered mobile hydrogen filling station and stationary storage from Hexagon Purus, including its Type 4 hydrogen bottles, for rail and other mobile applications. Ergo: Both CaetanoBus and DB rely on Hexagon Purus products.

Hexagon Agility receives fuel system orders for UPS heavy-duty renewable natural gas trucks

February 17, 2023 14:34 ET | Source: Hexagon Composites ASA

17 February 2023: As previously disclosed, Hexagon Agility, a business of Hexagon Composites, signed a master services agreement in October 2019 with UPS, the world’s premier package delivery company and a leading provider of global supply chain management solutions, to supply renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel systems for medium- and heavy-duty trucks.

Under this agreement, Hexagon Agility received new 2023 orders totaling USD 19 million (approx. NOK 197 million) for delivery of RNG fuel systems for heavy-duty trucks. This is in addition to the USD 25.6 million of previously announced orders from April 2022.

RNG results in significant reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions when compared to other clean energy solutions available today. In North America, RNG is supported by abundant natural gas pipeline infrastructure which allows for its immediate use today, and for decades to come. Hexagon Agility is enabling the adoption of RNG to cost effectively combat climate change.
                                                      
“In the past decade Hexagon Agility has supported the deployment of over 70,000 near-zero emission vehicles globally,” said Eric Bippus, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Hexagon Agility. “We commend UPS’ ambitious commitment to combat climate change by leveraging the benefits of RNG in North America.”

About the market

According to NGVAmerica in 2021, RNG accounted for 64% of all on-road fuel used in natural gas vehicles in the United States. In California that figure goes up to over 97%. Fuel providers and RNG producers are rapidly expanding output and availability of RNG at the pump. There are over 1200 natural gas fueling stations across North America.

Timing

Deliveries of the new orders will commence in the first quarter of 2023.

European Parliament endorses 35 bcm binding target for biomethane in EU Gas Package

Brussels 09/02/23

– Today, the European Parliament adopted its position on the Gas Decarbonisation Package. The European Biogas Association (EBA) welcomes the inclusion of 2030 mandatory biomethane target in the regulation.

“If EU institutions give green light to this proposal, the 35 bcm biomethane target would finally anchor in binding legislation the REPowerEU Plan’s ambition. Based on reasonable and solid estimation of sustainable feedstock availability, achieving 35 bcm of biomethane in the EU by 2030 would significantly contribute to security of supply by replacing 20% imported natural gas volumes from Russia before the Ukraine war.” Explains Giulia Cancian, Secretary General of the EBA.

The Package voted today takes stock of the Biomethane Action Plan and includes the requirement for Member States to set-up national biomethane strategies and to ensure regional mapping of highest production potential areas. This mapping exercise should inform the national strategies and the network planning carried out by the grid operators. National biomethane strategies shall provide a long-term perspective for the biomethane sector and guidance for investors.

Fremtidsutsiktene fremstår nå i stadig sterkere grad som helt kolossale... Her fra BPs kvartalspresentasjon tirsdag, i forbindelse med BPs kjøp av Archaea for USD 4.1 milliarder (ca. 42.2 milliarder) NOK, for noen måneder siden.

Chevron og Shell har begge gjort tilsvarende store oppkjøp.


BP CEO describes Archaea acquisition as a ‘game changer’ for boosting biogas volumes

In their first earnings call since completing the purchase of a leading landfill gas project developer, BP executives outlined plans to ramp up capital spending and pursue new offtake options.

Published Feb. 8, 2023
Cole RosengrenLead Editor

BP CEO Bernard Looney described the company’s recent acquisition of Archaea as a “real game changer” for its expansion into biogas and renewable fuels during a Tuesday earnings call.

The energy giant purchased Archaea, which had quickly become the leading developer of U.S. landfill gas projects, for $4.1 billion in late December. Key Archaea leaders, including CEO Nick Stork, have now joined BP.

BP has described “bioenergy” as one of five strategic focuses for its investment in alternatives to oil and gas, a broader category that could account for 40% of capital expenditures by 2025 and 50% by 2030.

“This is a business that we are very excited about and one that we believe can deliver significant value faster than what we had thought,” said Looney.

Preparing for zero-carbon era

NX CEO Rolf A Sandvik says using hydrogen as the energy carrier will enable cruise ships to continue to access vulnerable regions such as Norway's world heritage fjords, which by government regulation will be closed to ships burning fossil fuels from 2026. Other regions both in Norway and elsewhere will likely follow suit in future.

"This is a very exciting project and a milestone in the development of the clean maritime economy as the green shift takes root. We are delighted to be working with strong partners with deep competence in all the touch points required to develop the infrastructure for hydrogen-powered ships of the future, not only cruise but also commercial shipping," he added.

"Northern Xplorer has a very exciting concept with a spectacular, sustainable and future-oriented ship design that is truly pleasing to the eye. We are very pleased we have been selected to assist in developing the necessary infrastructure for these ships to run on zero-emission hydrogen when they come into operation," said Norwegian Hydrogen CEO Jens Berge.

Holistic approach

"We are excited to be part of a consortium consisting of industry leaders within the hydrogen value chain. Together we cover the full value chain, making this an important milestone in establishing hydrogen infrastructure for the maritime sector. Time is of the essence," added HYON CEO Jørn Kristian Lindtvedt.

"This MOU strengthens our existing relationship with NX and expert partners, and facilitates the alignment of technologies between us. We look forward to seeing the first zero-emission cruise ship running on compressed hydrogen," said Hexagon Purus Maritime MD Robert Haugen.

"We have been working for three years to create an eye-catching design that will incorporate the latest propulsion technology and vessel systems. It's great to be part of this ground-breaking project and as a collaboration partner we are eager to bring this vessel and the associated hydrogen infrastructure to reality," said Multi Maritime CEO Mikael Johansen.

NX signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with Portuguese shipbuilder West Sea for the construction of its maiden vessel with delivery slated for the start of the 2025/2026 cruise season.

Store nyheter fra Hexagon Group kommer tett for tiden, skjønt dagens store nyhet fra Hexagon Purus ble faktisk presentert her på forumet allerede 26.januar, i form av en artikkel fra Baltimore Sun (se innlegg på denne tråden 26.01.2023 kl 22:43).

Dagens børsmelding inneholder likevel mye interessant og signifikant nytt. Vi får vite at det nye produksjonsanlegget erstatter et tidligere produksjonsanlegg hvor 50 ansatte produserte 1 200 Type 4 hydrogensylindere i året. I det nye produksjonsanlegget skal 150 ansatte produsere 10 000 Type 4 hydrogesylindere årlig. Produksjonsanlegget er dessuten designet slik at det gis mulighet for ytterligere ekspansjon ved å legge til ekstra produksjonsutstyr ettersom etterspørselen etter hydrogenlagringssylindere bare fortsetter å vokse. Vi får også vite at man for tiden produserer og leverer hydrogenlagringsløsninger til flere tunge lastebil- og transittbuss-OEM-er, blant andre Hino Motors (100% eid av Toyota), Nikola og New Flyer. Aktører som alle krever og forventer markedets høyeste standarder, ifølge børsmeldingen.

Kanskje unødvendig å si med referanse til det jeg poster på forumet, men har også kjempetro på Hexagon Group fremover.

I Q4 2022 og Q1 2023 vil vi nok se at marginene fortsatt presses noe ned som følge av de langvarige, vedvarende problemene i forsyningskjedene innen makroøkonomien samt ekstrem prisstigning på råvarer til produksjonen i 2022, i en periode ordrebøkene på forhånd allerede var velfylte. Det sistnevnte, velfylte ordrebøker, er jo noe alle til vanlig setter stor pris på. Men plutselige, kraftige prissttigninger på råvarer til produksjon skapte et uventet unntak fra den 'regelen' da det selvsagt er vanskelig og langt på vei umulig å reforhandle priser til kunder på allerede inngåtte kontrakter. Så paradoksalt nok litt utur der for Hexagon Group gjennom å, på kort sikt, bli litt offer for egen suksess.

Forøvrig peker alle piler nå nærmest lodrett opp når det gjelder alle Hexagon Groups forretningsområder fremover, slik jeg ser det.

Flere som har registrert storkontrakten som ble børsmeldt lørdag. Her tyske DER AKTIONÄR. 'Hexagon Composites is a secret winner of ongoin decarbonization', er ikke så verst formulert, i kortform. Ikke akkurart konsernet det snakkes mest om.


Hexagon Composites: Large order at the weekend - buy signals within reach

Today, 11:25 am ‧ Michel Doepke

As a manufacturer of high-pressure vessels and systems for various gases, Hexagon Composites benefits from ongoing decarbonization. In North America in particular, interest in renewable natural gas (RNG) is growing – and with it the need for Norwegian products. This is underscored by a major order that Hexagon Composites announced on Saturday.

Based on a contract with Certarus that the Scandinavians communicated back in March 2021, the Hexagon Agility business unit was able to win a new order worth $25.6 million. For context, in the third quarter of 2022, Hexagon Composites reported total revenue of 1.08 billion Norwegian kroner, or approximately $110 million at current exchange rates.

The Norwegians are to deliver their new TITAN 450 modules. This is the next generation of composite gas distribution modules. According to Miguel Raimao, vice president of Mobile Pipeline at Hexagon Agility, the modules offer 25 percent more gas capacity and are 20 percent lighter for the same length.

At the beginning of December, Hexagon Composites secured a major order for TITAN transport modules from REV LNG. "RNG is enjoying increasing popularity in North America," wrote DER AKTIONÄR , referring to major takeovers in the biogas sector.

Hexagon Composites is a secret winner of ongoing decarbonization. The stock should start the new trading week with price premiums. With a sustained jump above 34.50 crowns and the August high at 34.80 crowns, the value could generate fresh buy signals. DER AKTIONÄR remains clearly optimistic about the stock in the long term, courageous investors can continue to take action in the event of weakness.

 62 comments 

A hydrogen fuel cell bus has helped in public transport in Paks in recent days. Between January 16 and 18, the city was able to gain first-hand experience of this technology thanks to the largest EU co-financed project to date, JIVE-2 . The goal of the joint initiative project was to allow passengers and relevant professionals to test and learn about hydrogen fuel cell technology in several countries of the region.

The Toyota Caetano H2.City Gold bus put to work in Paks was built in Portugal, the green hydrogen required for its use was provided by Messer Hungarogáz Kft.

Lithium-titanium battery pack

According to its specifications, the tanks of the Toyota-Caetano H2.City Gold type bus with a range of 400 km can be filled with fuel in 9-10 minutes using a hydrogen well capable of producing a pressure of 350 bar. The 5 hydrogen tanks placed on the top of the bus and manufactured by the Norwegian Hexagon Purus can hold a total of 37.5 kg of hydrogen gas. From this, a 60 kW fuel cell package produces the electrical energy, which is temporarily transferred to a 44 kWh lithium-titanium (LTO) battery pack.

I Norwegian Hydrogen begynner nå ting virkelig å ta av. Se forrige innlegg her på tråden om den ferske samarbeidsavtalen mellom Norwegian Hydrogen og Provaris.

Nå vil Norwegian Hydrogen, som har ambisjon om å bli den ledende aktøren i Norden innen fyllestasjoner for hydrogen, bygge fyllestasjon for hydrogen i Kristiansund, i samarbeid med Kristiansund Energihub.

Samarbeidspartnerne vurderer også lokal produksjon av hydrogen.

Også tilsvarende samarbeidsprosjekt knyttet til andre lokasjoner kan bli aktuelt.


Vil etablere fyllestasjon for hydrogen i Kristiansund

17 januar 2023 09:58

Kristiansund Energihub og Norwegian Hydrogen AS har inngått en samarbeidsavtale med mål om å etablere en fyllestasjon for hydrogen i Kristiansund næringspark. Felles målsetting er å bidra til å muliggjøre nullutslipp for tungtransporten i regionen, skriver de to selskapene i en felles pressemelding.

Kristiansund Energihub skal etableres i næringsparken like ved Kristiansund Lufthavn. Dette blir en regional hub for tungtransport, med blant annet bussdeponi, storbilverksted og flere logistikkaktører.

– Vi ønsker å etablere oss i knutepunkter for logistikk og tungtransport. Kristiansund Næringspark og Energihub er således midt i blinken for oss, sier Per Øyvind Voie, ansvarlig for fyllestasjoner i Norwegian Hydrogen.

Biogass og lading kommer også

Norwegian Hydrogen har ambisjon om å bli den ledende aktøren i Norden innen fyllestasjoner for hydrogen, og vil allerede i år åpne sine første stasjoner rettet mot tungtransport i både Norge og Sverige.

– Vi er svært godt fornøyde med å ha Norwegian Hydrogen med på laget, sier Trond Aasgård, styreleder i Kristiansund Energihub. Han kan fortelle at de er nær ved å også kunne offentliggjøre partnere innen biogass og lading. – Da har vi på plass de tre aktørene vi trenger for å kunne etablere en fullverdig energihub som er attraktiv for kundene uavhengig av hvilken nullutslippsløsning de går for.

Frir til transportaktørene

Nå håper både Kristiansund Energihub og Norwegian Hydrogen at lokale og regionale transportaktører får opp øynene for hydrogen som drivstoff.

– Vi er veldig interessert i å komme i kontakt med alle aktører som kan tenke seg å teste ut nullutslippsløsninger basert på hydrogen. Vi vet at det kommer krav om utslippskutt fra tungtransporten, og da kan man nå få en konkurransefordel i Kristiansundregionen ved å være tidlig ute, sier de to aktørene.

Samarbeidet kan utvides – produksjon av hydrogen

Som en del av samarbeidet mellom Kristiansund Energihub og Norwegian Hydrogen vil partene også vurdere både lokal produksjon av hydrogen og å vurdere tilsvarende samarbeid knyttet til andre lokasjoner.

– Vi har et godt og tillitsfullt forhold, og håper begge dette kun er starten på et langsiktig samarbeid som kan gi store resultater, avslutter de to.

Provaris Energy inks MoU with Norwegian Hydrogen to develop local value chains

Provaris Energy Ltd (ASX:PV1) has made inroads into Europe's hydrogen market after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Norwegian Hydrogen AS to collaborate on the identification and development of green hydrogen value chains within the Nordic region.

Norwegian Hydrogen is a green hydrogen developer focused on supplying the Nordic region of Europe within a range of sectors, including the transportation, maritime and industrial markets.

The company is owned by Flakk Group, Mitsui & Co Ltd, Hexagon Purus, Hofseth International and Tafjord, all international firms with an industrial focus.

The agreement between Provaris and Norwegian Hydrogen will involve the collaborative development of green hydrogen export chains, using PV1’s GH1 carriers and storage solutions, and Norwegian Hydrogen’s proposed hydrogen production and export sites in the region.

Partnership offers multiple advantages

“Provaris is delighted to collaborate with Norwegian Hydrogen to accelerate our development ambitions of an integrated export hydrogen project from the Nordic region that will benefit from the simplicity and efficiency of compressed hydrogen as a marine carrier,” Provaris Energy managing director and CEO Martin Carolan said.

“The Nordic region offers several advantages that can include low-cost hydropower, proximity to offtake markets and supportive governments committed to supplying hydrogen to Europe.

“This collaboration also has strategic alignment with the development timeline of our H2Neo carrier and validation of the increasing interest for our compressed H2 transport solution for hydrogen supply into Europe.”
...
Specifically, the MoU will provide a framework for the two companies to jointly undertake a concept design study that will:

* Review identified sites and select a preferred location suitable for domestic and export volumes of hydrogen.

* Undertake a technical and economic review for the production and supply of compressed gaseous green hydrogen to nominated European ports.

Cost competitive

Provaris and Norwegian Hydrogen will focus on identified sites for green hydrogen export, with a short sailing distance to some of the major planned hydrogen import hubs in Netherlands and Germany.

This includes sites in Norway, where the government recently announced its agreement with German counterparts for the export of hydrogen.

Potential import hubs in the United Kingdom could have equivalent and advantageous proximity to source location(s).

At these short distances, Provaris’ proprietary compressed hydrogen H2Neo carrier has demonstrated to be very cost competitive compared to alternative transportation, storage and conversion vectors of hydrogen.

The scope of the MoU will focus on the development of the full value chain, including production, maritime transportation and distribution to off-takers.

"A great opportunity"

Norwegian Hydrogen Jens Berge CEO commented: “We are excited to work with Provaris on a solution which will bring green hydrogen to the EU market in a flexible, cost-effective and timely manner.

“The vast experience and diverse capabilities within the combined Provaris and Norwegian Hydrogen team, along with a huge demand for green hydrogen in the EU, makes this a great opportunity for both parties.”

Norway represents 50% of the hydropower reservoir capacity of the EU and is consequently key in reaching the REPowerEU ambition of 10 million tonnes per annum hydrogen import by 2030.

Furthermore, Norway is committed to be a long-term hydrogen supplier to Europe as confirmed in the Joint Statement of the German and Norwegian governments on increasing maturity of the hydrogen value chain.

A joint Design Concept Study will be completed in the March quarter of 2023 to identify a preferred production and export site and determine the technical and economic viability of a fast-track green hydrogen supply chain connected to the key ports in Germany and the Netherlands.

Hexagon Composites. RNG.

Interessant fra Pamplona, Spania om satsing på bybusser som utelukkende kjører på RNG/renewable natural gas/biometan.

Det er Scania som har produsert bussene og flere kommer til å følge (i Pamplona, Spania forøvrig og ganske sikkert overalt i Europa og andre steder). Kloakk og kumøkk er det nemlig bra tilgang på veldig mange steder. Slikt blir det gass av, og av denne kan dermed tilnærmet klimanøytralt drivstoff relativt enkelt produseres. Energigiganter har da også allerede tolket 'skriften på veggen' og bl.a. Chevron, BP og Shell har alle gjort svære oppkjøp for å komme seg inn i RNG-sektoren (flere innlegg om disse oppkjøpene på denne tråden).

Vet det jo ikke helt sikkert, så skal absolutt ikke hogge ut i stein at det er Hexagon Composites's Hexagon Agility som har levert tanker med komplett drivstoffsystem til Scania når det gjelder disse bussene, men her må det være love å spekulere, for slik er det nok. Sjekk bare ut Hexagon Agilitys partner-/kundeportefølje her. Her finner vi Scania blant veldig mange andre, hvorav flere er giganter:

SPANISH OPERATOR RUNS SCANIA BUSES ON PUBLIC WASTE

SPANISH OPERATOR RUNS SCANIA BUSES ON PUBLIC WASTE

Date: 11.01.2023

A Pamplona based public operator has received new Scania buses that it will run on biomethane only

Public bus operator Moventis TCC Pamplona has acquired 13 brand new gas buses from Scania to run on biomethane only.

As part of the Moventia group, the Spanish company carries out urban transport in Pamplona and 17 municipal districts in the northern Spanish region of Navarra.

"This deal is a truly holistic initiative, to utilise local waste as a resource for sustainable transport," says Pedro Cotera, Business Manager City Buses at Scania.

"Spain is a country with a strong agricultural and food production industry, and this is a step towards energy independence."

This purchase is a first step on Mancomunidad Comarca de Pamplona’s (MCP) road to decarbonising urban traffic, in which all public service vehicles will soon follow suit, either through electrification or by utilising locally sourced biomethane.

As the biogas infrastructure has been put in place, an expansion of the electric grid has simultaneously been done in the area. Preparations are now ongoing with the creation of new charging points for new e-vehicles planned for the near future.

At the public announcement of the fleet renewal, the operator also revealed a new gas supply installation beside the garages. It will allow the new biogas-powered buses to be fuelled on site. Filling will take around four minutes, giving each bus an autonomy of about 300 km.

The responsible public transportation authority MCP set an ambitious target to improve the overall urban environment. This includes abandoning fossil fuels in the public vehicle fleet by 2030. The new buses are the first in Spain to meet the Euro 6E emissions standard for compressed gas vehicles (CNG).

They will be powered by biomethane, extracted from landfill waste in a new processing centre. In the future sewage will also be used as an energy source.

Scania says biogas vehicles achieve a reduction of up to 90 per cent in offset of CO2 emissions, a 70 per cent reduction in NOx and a 90 per cent reduction in particulate matter, compared with their fossil diesel equivalents.

In addition, Scania says they are 50 per cent less noisy, which improves driver and passenger comfort.

Hexagon Composites. Monstervekst forventes i USA innen Hexagon Agilitys forretningsområder.

Nevner at i dag, før monsterveksten når det gjelder opptak av RNG som drivstoff innen transportsektoren nå for alvor slår inn for fullt, kjører 70% (!) av gassdrevet langtransport i USA rundt med tank og komplett drivstoffsystem produsert og levert av Hexagon Composites's divisjon Hexagon Agilty som står for mer enn 80% av Hexagon Composites's omsetning.

Videre kommer mye av RNG produksjonen til å trenge storskala transport fra produksjonsstedet (mobile pipeline). Også innen dette forretningsområdet er Hexagon Agility globalt markedsledende.

Det var noen fakta. Haussing unødvendig, for den som leser artikkelen under, skjønner fort hva som nå venter. Hexagon Composites's CEO Jon Erik Engeset formulerte det slik allerede under Q2 2022 presentasjonen i august (mer i trådstart):

Looking ahead, we believe that the US Inflation Reduction Act and the European Commission’s REPower EU, as well as similar programs in other major economies, will drive Hexagon’s total addressable market to new levels. ”

US RNG approaches maturity as lenders eye 50% production growth by 2024

HIGHLIGHTS

* Lender praises 'circular' story for long-haul RNG

* Fuel, investment tax credits fan tailwinds

Renewable natural gas is sparking new interest from lenders and financiers close to Wall Street, with expanding subsidies for RNG production expected to support massive growth and investment in coming years.

US RNG was a lead beneficiary of widespread support for lower-carbon investing in 2022, as large energy companies such as BP and Kinder Morgan, as well as large private equity firms, piled money into the sector. Another example of growing support for the industry came Jan. 5, when Clean Energy, a transportation-focused RNG marketer with over 550 fueling stations across North America, announced a four-year, $150 million term loan with a unit of New York-based asset manager Riverstone Holdings.

While sums involved in the transaction are relatively modest by energy industry standards, the transaction speaks to RNG's possible status as the decarbonization method of choice for many transport providers, according to the group underwriting the loan.

"We looked at a bunch of opportunities for renewable diesel and for renewable natural gas," Daniel Flannery, managing director of Riverstone Holdings, told S&P Global Commodity Insights in an interview Jan. 5. "But of all the deals that we've looked at ... we felt like this was the most sizeable, most mature, and was not just a speculative bet on regulatory policy."

RNG is made from biogas sourced from landfills, dairy farms and municipal waste centers that, after processing, can be placed on a traditional natural gas pipeline or used in an RNG-compatible vehicle. The industry has experienced tremendous growth in recent years as facilities have rolled out across the US and Canada, although production volumes remain tiny compared with traditional generation or transport fuels.

But Flannery expects that could soon change, considering new subsidies offered under the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law by US President Joe Biden last year. That $370 billion green energy salvo included an investment tax credit promising to reimburse up to 40% of a qualified biogas project's development costs, as well as a renewed $0.50/gal fuel tax credit for RNG used as a transportation fuel.

"Especially for a credit provider like our like us whose focus is to lend money, collect the return and get paid back, we felt the passage of the IRA [created] a lot of tailwinds and a very constructive underwriting environment for a company like this," Flannery said.

Circular story

Setting aside subsidies for RNG -- which already include credits offered under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard and Low-Carbon Fuel Standard programs in certain states -- Riverstone also viewed RNG as a superior option to other low-carbon avenues transport operators might explore when looking to cut emissions in the next few years. For one, RNG sidesteps certain issues associated with other biofuels looking for market share in the long-haul trucking space, including food vs. fuel arguments linked to biofuels made from soybean oil, canola oil or other bio-feedstocks.

"There's definitely a more circular decarbonization story here that resonates," Flannery said. "To us [RNG] makes perfect sense as a bridge fuel that accomplishes customer sustainability objectives and has a place while we figure out a larger transition to carbon-neutral alternatives that will likely be hydrogen or battery-driven longer term."

Riverstone is not the only financier placing a bet on RNG's maturation. Last year, a unit of asset management giant Blackrock bought RNG producer Vanguard Renewables for $700 million, while New York private equity house Warburg Pincus extended a $320 million line of equity to fledgling RNG producer Viridi Energy as part of an expected $1 billion investment in US RNG opportunities.

Growth phase

While ESG- and sustainability-linked investing has come into vogue in recent years, these bets are about more than environmental credentials, in Flannery's view. His group is forecasting tenfold growth for US RNG production capacity in the long-term, from current levels around 220 MMcf/d to an ultimate potential around 2.2 Bcf/d, while near-term growth could explode following the IRA's passage.

"We think production capacity will grow 50%-ish by 2024 with the passing of the investment tax credit and the growth in new development projects," he said. "We think there's an opportunity to make a lot of money in the near term and medium term."

While financial support for RNG grows, it's not hard to find examples of the industry's acceleration, including new infrastructure. Opal Fuels, which touts a vertically integrated business model based around both RNG production and marketing, on Jan. 5 announced it reached full production rates at the first landfill gas to RNG facility in Florida, at the New River Solid Waste Association landfill in Raiford, Florida.

Companies like Opal Fuels and Clean Energy are taking different routes into RNG production, due largely to economics: last year Kinder Morgan CFO David Michels told S&P Global his company was valuing more "bite-sized" opportunities in landfill RNG, which typically require around $20 million-$50 million in development costs, instead of dairies, which he said can cost "well above around $100 million" to get off the ground.

Clean Energy, which focuses on dairy farm production rather than landfills, plans to use proceeds from Riverstone's recent sustainability-linked loan to fund "rapid expansion" of RNG projects at dairies it is developing alongside joint venture partners Total Energies and BP. The companies have set a goal to produce 105 million gallons of RNG by 2026.

Equinor og RWE er blitt enige om å samarbeide om å utvikle storskala verdikjeder for lavkarbon hydrogenproduksjon, melder Equinor torsdag.

Meldingen kommer samtidig med at den norske og tyske regjeringen har sendt ut felles erklæringer om tettere samarbeid for å produsere mer fornybar energi og skape grønn industri innen hydrogen, batterier, havvind og karbonfangst og -lagring.

Equinor og RWE har til hensikt å erstatte kullkraftverk med hydrogenklare gasskraftverk i Tyskland, og bygge opp produksjon av lavkarbonhydrogen og hydrogen produsert av fornybar kraft i Norge, for eksport i rør til Tyskland.

Skal bygge nye kraftverk

Samarbeidet er basert på følgende hovedelementer:

Bygging av nye gasskraftverk, i tråd med Tysklands veikart for utfasing av kullkraft. Equinor og RWE skal sammen eie gasskraftverkene. I begynnelsen skal de drives av gass, og deretter skal de gradvis bruke hydrogen som brennstoff, med en ambisjon om bare hydrogendrift når volumer og teknologi er tilgjengelig.
Bygge anlegg i Norge for produksjon av lavkarbonhydrogen fra naturgass med karbonfangst og -lagring. Over 95 prosent av CO2-utslippene vil bli fanget og lagret trygt og permanent under havbunnen på norsk sokkel.
Eksport av hydrogen i rør fra Norge til Tyskland.
Felles utbygging av havvindparker for produksjon av fornybart hydrogen som brennstoff for kraftkunder og andre industrikunder i fremtiden.

Vi vet altså at Hexagon Purus's ordrebok når det gjelder hydrogendistribusjonssystemer allerede er full for 2023 (dette ble det informert om til markedet allerede under Q3 2022 i oktober).

Og her får vi altså vite ganske mye mer om hva annet Hexagon Purus har tenkt å tjene penger på i året vi nettopp har gått inn i, og at det som først og fremst gjelder for selskapet nå er å holde tritt med den store etterspørselen etter utslippsfrie tungtransport-kjøretøy man nå ser komme i markedet. Lovende. Mildt sagt.

Øvrige signifikante inntektskilder i 2023 er trolig leveranser til hydrogenbuss og hydrogentog.


Ontario company Hexagon Purus providing zero emission solutions for trucking industry as deadline looms

ByPhillip Palmer
Wednesday, January 4, 2023 9:55PM

Diesel trucks are notorious polluters, causing 26% of greenhouse gas emission in the transportation industry even though they represent just 6% of the vehicles on the road.

California is trying to change that, and the trucking industry has a deadline that is fast approaching. In 2024, 9% of all new Class 4-8 truck sales must be zero emissions.

"There's definitely a lot more interest from every single truck company for solutions in the zero emissions space," said Eric Coupal-Sikes, Vice President of Engineering for Hexagon Purus.

The Ontario-based company is one of the global leaders in key technologies needed for zero emission trucks - not by redesigning the entire truck, but certainly what goes under the hood.

"What's under the hood. What's under the frame rails, exactly. So complete zero emission power train. Both battery electric for regional haul and hydrogen for long haul," explains Coupal-Sikes.

Truck manufacturers sell nearly 250,000 new big rigs every year across the country. Even though 13 other states have adopted California's zero emission legislation, original equipment manufacturers will still only sell about 6,000 zero emission vehicles initially, while needing to simultaneously produce 240,000 diesel trucks for other states.

That's where Hexagon Purus comes in.

"There's not one solution that's better than the other. We believe for short range, the EV is going to make quite a bit of sense if you've got the ability to trickle charge overnight. And then for longer range applications, this is where hydrogen is going to make sense," said Todd Sloan, Executive VP of Hexagon Purus.

"We have the capability to help them install these zero emission power trains at our facilities here in Southern California, and that enables them to both continue business as usual as well as introduce zero emission trucks rapidly," added Coupal-Sikes.

Hexagon Purus began focusing exclusively on zero emission in 2020, but the company has over 20 years experience in the alternative fuel trucking industry, which accounts for only 1% of the nationwide fleet.

But with expansion plans already in place, they believe they are ready to meet the expected demand.

"When you feel that power and have no sound, no emissions, you realize this is the future. It's a matter of how fast can we, the industry, make it happen," Sloan said.

Tyskland vil kjøpe norsk hydrogen

Når Tysklands næringsminister Robert Habeck lander i Norge torsdag, er det blant annet for å undertegne en erklæring om import av norskprodusert hydrogen.

04/01/2023 10:05

Av Bibiana Piene/NTB

– Vi vil komme med en felles erklæring om å legge til rette for store leveranser av hydrogen fra Norge til Tyskland, sier olje- og energiminister Terje Aasland (Ap) til NTB.

– Dette må skje gradvis og er avhengig av lønnsomme prosjekter, men vi har en felles ambisjon, sier han.

Stor jobb

Habeck, som også er Tysklands visestatsminister og klimaminister, kommer til Norge torsdag for å delta på NHOs årskonferanse. Foruten Aasland skal han ha møter med både statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) og næringsminister Jan Christian Vestre (Ap).

Nel, Hexagon Purus and Co: Exciting hydrogen collaboration between Norway and Germany

Germany and Norway want to create the conditions for significant hydrogen imports in the next decade. Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck intends to sign a joint declaration on the subject during his trip to Norway this week. Norwegian hydrogen companies such as Nel or Hexagon Purus in particular could benefit from this.

Ser man det. Strålende nyheter også fra Hellesylt og Norwegian Hydrogen hvor Hexagon Purus har eierandel. Mitsui kjøpte seg jo forøvrig også inn og tok en eierandel i Norwegian Hydrogen for noen måneder siden. Dette lover godt!


Og med alle de økonomiske stimuli artikkelen jeg siterer fra under lister opp at nå skal pøses ut i markedet fra diverse myndighetshold, må det virkelig være grunn til å tro at 2023 blir et godt år for grønt hydrogen!

Hexagon Purus spesifikt: Eneste lille 'minus' er et luksusproblem i form av at Hexagon Purus's ordrebok når det gjelder den delen av selskapets virksomhet som produserer større lagrings- og distribusjonssystemer for hydrogen allerede nå er full for 2023. Innen dette forretningsområdet tar man nå imot ordrer for 2024 samtidig som et veldig stort og signifikant pluss er pågående utvidelse av produksjonskapasitet i Nord-Amerika, Europa og Kina/Sørøst-Asia.


It's H2-go | Why 2023 will be green hydrogen's global lift-off year

Subsidy schemes kicking in this year in key economies will all but guarantee profitability for projects that will need huge new sources of renewable power, writes Leigh Collins

The next 12 months will transform the global green hydrogen industry from a much-discussed idea to large-scale reality, with a wave of government subsidy schemes entering into force that will virtually guarantee profitability for renewable H2 projects which will in turn need huge amounts of clean power to operate.

The most significant support programme will almost certainly be the US hydrogen tax credits — unveiled in last year’s Inflation Reduction Act — which would pay producers up to $3 per kilogram of green H2. But Contracts for Difference (CfD) subsidy programmes from the EU and UK are also due to begin this year, along with Germany’s H2Global scheme, which will provide financial support for clean hydrogen (and its derivatives) imported from outside the EU.

In addition, Canada said it will unveil a hydrogen tax credit scheme in the spring of 2023; Oman will unveil the winners of its first green hydrogen tender in March, and its second in December; India is expected to unveil a new subsidy programme in the coming months; Norway has agreed in principle to introduce a CfD scheme this year; while China is set to significantly expand its green H2 output in 2023.

Bygger Norges største fabrikk for grønt hydrogen i Geiranger: «En viktig brikke i energiomstillingen»
3 MIN LESETID2. JANUAR

I år åpner Norwegian Hydrogen sin første fabrikk for produksjon av grønt Hydrogen, på Hellesylt ved Geirangerfjorden. Pilotprosjektet blir Norges største fabrikk for grønt hydrogen.

Norwegian Hydrogen er et norsk selskap med hovedkontor i Ålesund, stiftet i 2020. Bedriften har planer om å produsere og selge grønt hydrogen i Norge og resten av Norden.

Marielle Furnes Mannseth jobber som Group Brand & Sustainability Officer i Norwegian Hydrogen. Hun forteller til Ocean24.no at selskapet har ambisjoner om å bygge ut infrastruktur bestående av både produksjonsanlegg og hydrogenfyllestasjoner for tungtransport og maritime kunder.

– Vi satser i hovedsak på tungtransport, maritime kunder og direkte leveranser til aktører innenfor industrien. Det er denne målgruppen det er aller viktigst at går over til grønn energi i løpet av de kommende årene, sier Mannseth.

– Norge må ta på seg ledertrøyen
Videre forteller hun at det er gode forutsetninger for produksjon av grønt hydrogen i Norge. På Hellesylt er forholdene spesielt gode. Der ligger det tre vannkraftverk som skal levere strøm til den nye fabrikken. Fabrikken skal før utgangen av 2023 produsere 1,5 tonn hydrogen i døgnet.

– Norge har gode muligheter til å bli en stor aktør innen produksjon av hydrogen. Her finnes det allerede mange etablerte vannkraftverk som kan forsyne hydrogenfabrikker med nødvendig kraft til produksjonsfasen. Samtidig er det viktig å bygge ut mer fornybar kraft, for å sørge for tilstrekkelig tilgang til utslippsfri energi i fremtiden, forteller hun.

Mannseth mener hydrogenproduksjon kan bli en viktig del av norsk industri som på sikt kan generere tusenvis av arbeidsplasser.

– Norge må ta på seg ledertrøya i denne næringen. EU er ekstremt fremoverlente når det gjelder å gi støtte til produksjon av grønt hydrogen. Vi må være tidlig ute og etablere oss i denne sektoren. Dette er også en viktig faktor for å få ned CO2-utslippene i verden.

– Vi ønsker også å utnytte varmen som oppstår under produksjonen. Den kan for eksempel brukes til oppvarming av hoteller, fotballbaner, eller drivhus. Vi vil utnytte alle våre resurser, for å gjøre produksjonen så bærekraftig som mulig.

En viktig del av energiomstillingen
Når hydrogen brukes som energibærer avgir den ingen luftforurensning. Hydrogen produsert ved hjelp av energi fra fornybare energikilder er med andre ord utslippsfri.

Mannseth tror at produksjon av hydrogen sammen med andre former for fornybar energiproduksjon vil utgjøre en viktig del av energiomstillingen.

– Det er viktig med samarbeid på tvers av forskjellige sektorer. Det er summen av de ulike formene for bærekraftig energiproduksjon som til sammen vil skape en grønnere verden, sier Marielle Furnes Mannseth.
