Funding

As an energy nation, hydrogen and ammonia represents exciting opportunities for Norway. To enable widespread adoption across society, ongoing technology development and cost reduction are essential. Norway offers several financial support schemes to fund hydrogen technologies at every stage of development. Additionally, the Horizon Europe program—the EU's primary funding initiative for research and innovation—presents significant opportunities for the industry.
