Norwegian funding agency Enova has granted Vireon €10m to establish a hydrogen refuelling corridor between Trondheim and Oslo, Norway. The corridor will feature four stations catering to heavy-duty vehicles, providing green hydrogen at 350 and 700 bar. To ensure reliability, truck drivers will have two route options between the two cities. Enova's grant will also support Norwegian Hydrogen subsidiary in acquiring hydrogen transport containers for distributing hydrogen from production sites to the refuelling stations. Vireon's CEO, Per Øyvind Voie, welcomed the grant, emphasizing the need for collaboration among stakeholders in the hydrogen industry to advance projects. Voie highlighted the opportunity to shift momentum towards hydrogen as a zero-emission mobility solution. This initiative follows Vireon's previous grant to build a 5MW electrolyser facility in Finland as part of the Jyväskyla Hydrogen Hub, with plans for a hydrogen refuelling station. The global hydrogen refuelling sector has seen significant growth, with over 1,100 hydrogen refuelling stations operational worldwide as of 2023. Asian markets lead in station deployment, particularly Japan, China, and South Korea. Several countries, mainly in Europe, announced plans for new stations in 2023. The Hydrogen Council predicts further station deployment, especially with government targets like Japan and South Korea aiming for over 600 stations by 2030. Additionally, the EU's AFIR regulation mandates hydrogen refuelling stations every 200km along TEN-T and in urban nodes, indicating a positive trend in hydrogen infrastructure development.
