ASCO to supply Horisont Energi

The four-year framework agreement with options to extend will provide full logistics and supply services within marine, base and port operations, materials management and control, transport and customs clearance, environmental services, delivery of cargo carriers and associated equipment, as well as other logistic-related services.

Horisont Energi is an innovative company in clean energy and carbon storage technology, with a focus on blue ammonia, blue hydrogen and carbon storage for the industry. The company will build Europe's first large-scale factory for the production of ‘clean’ ammonia from natural gas and renewable energy, which means that CO₂ is captured during the production process and stored permanently in sandstone reservoirs. Reservoir Polaris is located under the seabed off the coast of Finnmark in Norway. An investment decision is expected for the Barents Blue project at the end of 2022.

Ammonia has a number of industrial applications, including fertilizer production, and today is the world's second largest industrial gas used, with an established infrastructure for shipping the product across the globe. Ammonia is expected to be used for climate-neutral fuels, particularly in the maritime industry and for the climate-neutral power generation.

ASCO has assisted Horisont Energi in the process of choosing a site for the onshore facility and has offered valuable support in Finnmark. This has been an important contribution to the work that has led up to Markoppneset, in the municipality of Hammerfest, Norway, as the preferred site for the company's planned plant for the production of ‘clean’ ammonia.
