Project
Rjukan - NO
Norwegian Hydrogen is developing a liquid hydrogen project at Rjukan (NO), supported by a strong PPA for local hydropower and significant funding from both the EU and the Norwegian government through Innovation Norway.
Key Project Details:
- Rjukan is a first-of-a-kind project demonstrating a complete and scalable liquid hydrogen (LH2) supply chain for maritime transport, contributing to the decarbonisation of shipping and supporting Europe’s transition to a climate-neutral economy.
- Hydrogen Production Capacity: Initial development of a 25 MW hydrogen plant, with an output of 10 tonnes per day (potential for upscaling)
- Renewable Energy Supply: Secured through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tinn Energi, ensuring stable and sustainable energy sourcing
- Technology Partner: Letter of intent signed with Nel for the supply of pressurized alkaline electrolysis technology and strong commitment with Nikkiso for the supply of the liquefaction plant equipment
- Permits approved
- Grid capacity reserved
- NOK 50 million CAPEX grant from Innovation Norway
- NOK 50 million loan offer from Innovation Norway
- EUR 13,2 million OPEX funding from EU Innovation Fund, EU Hydrogen Bank, RjukanH2. Project number: 101241595
- EUR 31,5 million CAPEX grant from EU Innovation Fund, liquefaction and bunkering, RjukanLH2. Project numer: 10152290
- Selected supplier by European logistics company Samskip
- FEED partner Worley, with option to proceed into EPC
Strategic Impact:
- Positions the project among the largest hydrogen production facilities in the Nordics.
- Supports regional decarbonization efforts and the development of a competitive liquid hydrogen value chain.
- Enables collaboration with local stakeholders to advance the green transition and strengthen Norway’s hydrogen infrastructure.
- Marks itself as a highly attractive project for customers seeking to secure competitively priced green liquid hydrogen by 2030 and beyond
