The company will own and operate electrolysis plants for the production of green hydrogen, primarily for use in the production of LBG. The collaboration is based on an innovative technology, used for the first time in a full scale production by GrønGas A/S, where green hydrogen is used directly in the production of liquid biogas.
“Norwegian Hydrogen aims to be a pioneer in the use of green hydrogen for various purposes” said Jens Berge”, CEO of Norwegian Hydrogen AS. “This collaboration shows that, by utilising green hydrogen and green CO2 in a new and innovative way, we can cover some of the vast marked demand for LBG. The collaboration with Jens Peter Lunden and potentially also with GrønGas is an important milestone for Norwegian Hydrogen and the result of good and constructive dialogue over a long period of time.”
Grøn Brint Aps has already ordered electrolysers for the first phase of the collaboration from the German electrolyser manufacturer H-Tec Systems, and plans to start producing the hydrogen already this year. The plan is then to scale up production based on the green energy available from Lunden's turbines.
By using green hydrogen directly in the production of LBG, green CO2 that is left over in the process is also used. The conversion of CO2 to e-methane provides added value for the parties and forms the basis for the profitability of the project.
Allan Olesen, CEO at GrønGas, said that in the future, the company hopes to be able to use hydrogen for CCU and methanation directly at the biogas plant.
The parties have ambitions to expand the collaboration to include other opportunities in the production of hydrogen and other e-fuels, based on wind power. They have several other major projects in the planning.
