Vireon Secures Funding to Develop Hydrogen Corridor in Norway
Key Ideas
- Vireon secures over €10 million grant from Enova to establish Norway's first hydrogen refueling corridor between Trondheim and Oslo.
- The corridor will consist of four stations catering primarily to heavy-duty vehicles, offering green hydrogen at 350 and 700 bar pressures.
- The project aims to support hydrogen-powered logistics and reduce emissions along the route, allowing truck drivers to choose between two different routes for redundancy.
Vireon has successfully secured a grant of over €10 million from the Norwegian funding agency Enova to embark on the development of the first hydrogen refueling corridor in Norway. This initiative is part of Vireon's broader strategy to create a network of hydrogen refueling stations across the Nordic region, with a specific focus on heavy-duty vehicles. The corridor will span between Trondheim and Oslo, two key cities in Norway, providing essential support for hydrogen-powered logistics along the route. The stations will be designed to cater primarily to heavy-duty vehicles and will offer green hydrogen at both 350 and 700 bar pressures, ensuring compatibility with a variety of vehicles. To enhance reliability, truck drivers will have the flexibility to choose between two different routes connecting the cities. Additionally, the grant includes provisions for Vireon to acquire a fleet of hydrogen transport containers, enabling the distribution of hydrogen from production sites to the refueling stations. This project signifies a significant step towards promoting environmental sustainability in transportation and underscores the increasing momentum towards hydrogen adoption in Norway and the broader Nordic region.
