Statkraft and Skagerak Energi will supply green hydrogen to the world’s first hydrogen-powered cargo ship planned by HeidelbergCement and Felleskjøpet.
The ship will operate between Eastern Norway to Western Norway using green hydrogen along with rotor sails.
Statkraft and Skagerak Energi won the contract for delivery of green hydrogen, with Svenn Ivar Fure, CEO, Felleskjøpet Agri, and Knut Omreng, director of logistics, HeidelbergCement Northern Europe, saying that:
The Greenbulk project is without doubt ground-breaking for the energy sector and we look forward to collaborating with them
Norway has launched a hydrogen roadmap, which includes ambitions to establish five hydrogen hubs within maritime transport that also accommodate for suppling land transport.
The plan is to reach an investment decision by the summer of 2022, so as to start deliveries in late 2023.
