H2Carrier to establish Norway’s first integrated PtX and wind power project

In Norway, Norwegian company H2Carrier has applied to NVE (the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate) for development of two large onshore wind farms in Finnmark county. In line with a government initiative for raising energy and industry production in Finnmark, NVE has asked companies to notify their plans for developing wind power within 22 April 2024. The two wind farms have a planned installed capacity of 1,55GW. The estimated annual production volume of green hydrogen and ammonia is 109,000 and 610,000 tons, respectively. In combination, the two projects will contribute to 3.9% of Norway’s targeted reduction of CO2 emissions until 2030. “We are pleased to present plans for two large green energy projects in Finnmark which allows us to leverage technologies and processes developed from Norway’s offshore oil and gas activities. It is important to us that the projects have been developed and designed in a close co-operation with the host municipalities. The limited grid capacity in Finnmark represents a bottle neck for development of new renewable power. By establishing new green industries on a floating production vessel adjacent to the wind farm, we are no longer dependent on an expansion of the national grid” says Mårten Lunde, CEO of H2Carrier.
