Ingrid Hovden interviews Trond Strømgren

Ingrid Hovden (15) is in grade 9 at the local school and works with a project on hydrogen for propulsion of vessels. She asked for more information and showed up at Ocean Hyway Cluster office today. – I live on an island and therefore the sea is part of everyday life for me, says Ingrid. – It is important to reduce emissions and I want to contribute in my way, starting by gaining knowledge about the topic, she adds.

Ingrid interviewed Trond Strømgren, our Senior Advisor Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Value Chain. – I am very happy for the opportunity to have dialogue with aspiring youngsters like Ingrid, says Strømgren. – She asked very relevant questions and I hope she will be part of the professional teams that will further develop the maritime hydrogen solutions we are implementing today, he ended.
