North Ammonia and Fjord Base Collaborate on Green Ammonia Plant in Florø
Key Ideas
  • North Ammonia and Fjord Base to establish a green ammonia production facility in Florø, leveraging existing infrastructure and maritime activities.
  • The project aims to meet the increasing demand for zero-emission fuels in the maritime sector driven by stricter emission regulations from 2030.
  • Fjord Base's strategic location with surplus power and focus on sustainable industries will further strengthen the region's position as a green industrial cluster.
  • Collaboration with HyFuel for green hydrogen production and construction of an ammonia bunkering facility in Florø demonstrates a comprehensive approach towards sustainable energy solutions.
Norwegian green energy provider, North Ammonia, has joined forces with Fjord Base Holding to develop a green ammonia production facility in Florø, Norway. The partnership aims to capitalize on the region's existing industrial areas and infrastructure to establish a facility focusing on green ammonia production. The project, which has been assessed as mature by power system operators, is poised to address the growing demand for zero-emission fuels, particularly in the maritime sector due to upcoming emission regulations. CEO Mikkel Tørud highlighted Fjord Base's suitability for green ammonia production, emphasizing the importance of grid development to support sustainable industries. The initiative is expected to create a circular economy value chain, positioning Fjord Base as a key player in the green transition and boosting job creation locally. Furthermore, Fjord Base is already involved in other sustainable energy projects, including a green hydrogen production initiative by HyFuel and the construction of an ammonia bunkering facility in collaboration with Yara Clean Ammonia and Azane. These efforts align with the region's commitment to advancing renewable energy solutions and promoting a more sustainable maritime industry.
