“The cooperation and agreement with Varanger kraft Hydrogen is a step towards offering green hydrogen to consumers in Northern Norway and the northern part of Scandinavia. For HYDS, the northern region is very interesting and the collaboration with Varanger kraft Hydrogen is an excellent opportunity to develop the market for green hydrogen together,” says Øyvind Dale, Head of Business Development at HYDS.
Varanger Kraft Hydrogen has been producing green hydrogen since 2020, but from 2024, commercial production of up to 500 bar will be available.
