Utilising renewable energy sources from local hydropower stations in Hellesylt, the green hydrogen production plant at Hellesylt stands as one of Norway's pioneering green hydrogen plants. The facility is dedicated to enabling zero emissions in the Geiranger World Heritage Fjord and will initially serve a broader region, marking a significant step in Norway's green energy transition.
Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub will also open the first high-capacity hydrogen refuelling station in the region, through Vireon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norwegian Hydrogen serving the heavy-duty mobility segment.
During the upcoming weeks, there will be rigorous testing and optimisation of the facility to ensure a smooth transition into full production. The plant is expected to gradually ramp up its output, ultimately reaching a maximum capacity of 1.3 tpd of green hydrogen.
The first deliveries of green hydrogen from Hellesylt will be made to Veidekke, Cyan Energy, Skulebas and Vireon, as previously announced.
