Vireon's Milestone: Building Norway's First Hydrogen Refueling Corridor
Key Ideas
- Vireon secures a significant grant exceeding 10M EUR to establish a hydrogen refueling corridor in Norway for heavy-duty vehicles.
- The corridor between Trondheim and Oslo will have four stations offering green hydrogen at 350 and 700 bar, with redundancy in routes for truck drivers.
- The grant from Enova also includes support for purchasing hydrogen transport containers for distributing hydrogen from production to refueling stations.
Vireon has successfully secured a grant of over 10 million EUR to build Norway's inaugural hydrogen refueling corridor, representing a crucial stride in their vision for a Nordic-wide hydrogen refueling network catering to heavy-duty vehicles. The CEO, Per Øyvind Voie, expressed pride and gratitude at this achievement, attributing it to the exceptional teamwork within Vireon. The project, funded by Enova, aims to establish a four-station hydrogen corridor connecting Trondheim and Oslo, designed specifically for heavy-duty vehicles. These stations will dispense green hydrogen at 350 and 700 bar pressures, ensuring efficient fueling options. Moreover, to enhance reliability, the corridor will offer truck drivers two route choices between the cities. The grant encompasses provisions for Vireon to procure a fleet of hydrogen transport containers, facilitating the distribution of hydrogen from production sites to the refueling stations. This development underscores Vireon's commitment to advancing sustainable transport solutions and further solidifies their position in the evolving hydrogen market.
