HYDS represents knowledge spanning the entire value chain from power production to the development, construction, operation of green hydrogen plants and the distribution of the green hydrogen to the end user in various forms.
We contribute to the green shift by delivering green hydrogen as an energy carrier directly, converting green hydrogen into electricity, or further refining it into products like ammonia, methanol, LOHC or other. The green hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives serve as eco-friendly energy for industries and fuel for vehicles, trailers, ships, and airplanes.
HYDS was established in 2021. We address global energy challenges and are engaged in several exciting projects. We work towards a more sustainable future by seeking better energy solutions, focusing on the cases where green hydrogen is the solutions or part of the solution. Transitioning to more sustainable operations and low-carbon renewable energy production is crucial in our business.
Plants in Operation
Stord Hydrogen is a 1 MW pilot plant located at Heiane in Stord in production. The facility produces hydrogen through electrolysis from renewable energy. The pilot plant has the capacity to produce 388 kg hydrogen per day. Deliveries can be made to customers directly to the test center Energy House located next to the plant or to high pressure storage containers.
Kaupanes Hydrogen is a 1 MW plant located at Kaupanes in Egersund. The plant produces green hydrogen through electrolysis from renewable energy, with the capacity of 388 kg hydrogen per day. Deliveries can be made to customers directly to high pressure storage containers.
Ongoing projects
HyFuel, Florø
HyFuel was founded in 2020 and aims to establish large-scale hydrogen production at Fjord Base in Florø, Kinn municipality.
The project is a joint venture between Fjord Base, Sogn & Fjordane Energi and HYDS. HYDS entered the project in spring 2024 after acquiring Gasnor’s shares.
The HyFuel project will develop a 20 MW green hydrogen facility, supplying hydrogen to the regional maritime industry and positioning Fjord Base as a Maritime Hydrogen Hub along the Norwegian coast. A Final Investment Decision (FID) was reached in November 2025, and the project is now entering the construction phase, targeting commercial operations by the end of 2027.
A key advantage of HyFuel is its strategic location at Fjord Base, offering direct access to the maritime market, the Norwegian Continental Shelf, and Norway’s western coastal shipping corridor, making it an ideal site for hydrogen distribution and bunkering.
Kaupanes Expansion, Egersund
The Kaupanes Expansion Project represents the next phase of Kaupanes Hydrogen, a 20 MW facility capable of producing approximately 8 tonnes of green hydrogen per day. The expansion will strengthen Kaupanes Hydrogen’s position as a leading maritime hydrogen hub in southern Norway.
Kaupanes Hydrogen is a joint venture between Egersund Næring & Havn, Dalane Energi, and HYDS. A Final Investment Decision was reached in November 2025, with construction underway and operations expected to commence by the end of 2027.
The operational experience gained from the existing Kaupanes Hydrogen plant provides valuable insights for the expansion phase. The project emphasises synergy with existing infrastructure, ensuring cost efficiency, safety, and reliability as the facility scales to meet growing market demand. Kaupanes Hydrogen will continue to expand in line with market growth, maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and environmental performance.
Environmental, social and governance
SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy
HYDS will contribute to the decarbonization of fossil energy by enabling and building clean hydrogen production.
SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth
HYDS supports and respects internationally proclaimed human and labour rights. In our projects, we do not tolerate working conditions or treatment that conflict with international laws and practices. HYDS will ensure diversity in employment as the company will grow toward more employees during the next couple of year.
SDG 9 Industry, innovation and infrastructure
HYDS are executing green hydrogen projects which will upgrade the infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, by standardization and digitalization HYDS will bring down costs together with our strategic partners, this will enable a more cost efficient value change with lower overall costs.
SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production
We seek to use biproduct from the green hydrogen production such as oxygen and heat, which can be used in green value in nearby industry and communities, this will in addition contribute to overall improving in our projects. In our project we have an ambition to set targets for reducing material consumption in the entire value chain.
SDG 13 Climate action
HYDS will by investing in green hydrogen production to play a key role in driving the transition to an low-carbon future. By partnerships with storage and transportation we will create an alternative to fossil fuels.
SDG 17 Partnerships for the goals
Partnerships is in HYDS view the key for driving to a sustainable future. We seek partnerships in all parts of the value change, from the producer of electrolysers, to storage and transportation. Technology development is key to this and we constant seek to contribute to academia and clusters to create sustainable value chains that lasts. In both of our location where we are currently building hydrogen plants, at Stord and Egersund, we have connected with local partners to create production sites as well local customers
