Eurotainer partner with Hexagon Purus to accelerate Norway’s hydrogen economy

Hexagon Purus will provide 380 bar hydrogen distribution systems, designed for the safe and efficient transportation of green hydrogen. These systems will be available through Eurotainer’s leasing network to support hydrogen transport for mobility and industrial applications across Norway and beyond, playing a key role in advancing the country’s hydrogen economy.

Among Eurotainer's customers is Norwegian Hydrogen, already producing green hydrogen at its recently opened Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub, and with additional production facilities in development across the Nordics. The hydrogen produced will be distributed to a group of industrial customers, including construction company Veidekke, which will use the green hydrogen to significantly reduce emissions on two of its asphalt production plants in the region. Some of the hydrogen will also be utilised by Vireon, a subsidiary of Norwegian Hydrogen, which aims to become the leading operator of hydrogen refuelling stations for heavy transport in the Nordic region.

The new hydrogen storage systems, manufactured at Hexagon Purus’ facility in Weeze, Germany, will be delivered by the end of the year. This collaboration will further expand the distribution of green hydrogen, a key element in Norway’s transition to a sustainable, low-emission future.

Nicolas Rougeron, General Manager Europe, Eurotainer, said: “We see immense potential in Norway and in broader European markets as hydrogen emerges as a critical solution for decarbonising mobility and industry.”

The industrial and mobility sectors account for close to 50% of annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has an important role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use in industrial processes and mobility is critical to reduce carbon emissions, and hydrogen is projected to supply up to 25% of the world's energy needs by 2050.
