HyInfra: New reports now available
In April this year, Ocean Hyway Cluster’s project HyInfra identified a 2030 hydrogen demand of over 100 tonnes per day and an ammonia demand of between 1400 tonnes per day and 3600 tonnes per day.
We are now publishing reports revealing where this hydrogen and ammonia is going to be produced. Publicly announced future hydrogen production locations, and existing ammonia production locations have been included in our analysis.
A roadmap for supplying hydrogen and ammonia to Norway’s 2030 maritime sector
Combined, the reports published today represent Work Package B: Technology and Value Chain
B0: Hydrogen Technology and Supply Chains to the Maritime Sector (OHC)
B1.1: Liquid hydrogen infrastructure for the maritime sector in 2030 (OHC)
B1.2: Future compressed hydrogen infrastructure for the domestic maritime sector (IFE)
B2: Ammonia fuel infrastructure for the maritime sector in 2030 (Amon Maritime)
Key findings
The technologies required for production and supply of compressed hydrogen, liquid hydrogen and ammonia are commercialised technologies available today.
Compressed hydrogen infrastructure
A mixture of local production serving small isolated demands, and centralised production supplying larger clusters of demand is the most likely future scenario.
(From report: Future compressed hydrogen infrastructure for the domestic maritime sector, Janis Danebergs and Fredrik Aarskog, 2020
The map image shows potential compressed hydrogen demand and production locations in Southern Norway. Existing and announced production locations have been taken into account.
The production and hydrogen demand locations are colour matched. Production sites numbered with 0 represent local on-site production.
Similar analysis like this has been carried out for liquid hydrogen and ammonia. See the reports to find out more!
Liquid hydrogen infrastructure
“Low demand” scenario: the two production sites under planning in Mongstad and Glomfjord are all that is needed to meet the demand.
“High demand” scenario: an additional production site in Northern Norway is required (for example Berlevåg).
Ammonia infrastructure
“Low demand” scenario: the ammonia fuel demand in Norway could be served by three plants: Herøya, Glomfjord and Mongstad/Kollsnes.
“Medium demand” scenario: a production plant could be added at Nyhamna, producing at full capacity within 2030.
“High scenario” scenario: additional capacity could be built at Mongstad/Kollsnes and the demand in Northern Norway could be covered by a production plant in Berlevåg.
Fact box: HyInfra
The overal aim of HyInfra is to reduce the uncertainty and risk such that actors can take the step for realising maritime hydrogen infrastructure in Norway.
Analysis based on 4 fleets:
Express passenger ferries
Car ferries
Kystruten
Offshore
2030 hydrogen demand of over 100 tonnes per day and an ammonia demand of between 1400 tonnes per day and 3600 tonnes per day.
51 express passenger ferry routes and 16 car ferry routes where hydrogen is more suitable than batteries.
