Our plants
Did you know that we are planning several green hydrogen plants along the entire Norwegian coast?
GreenH aims to establish a hub for hydrogen production, located as close to the end users as possible. By strategically placing the plants, we can eliminate the transportation step and facilitate cheaper and more accessible hydrogen. This will not only make hydrogen distribution easier but also help reduce costs, leading to lower CO2 emissions.
We believe that hydrogen is the future.
Langstranda – Bodø
Torghatten Nord og GreenH har signert en avtale for levering av grønt hydrogen til Lofot-fergene. Denne The 15-year contract is a significant step towards green transport in Northern Norway, contributing to a reduction of 26,500 tons of CO2 annually, equivalent to the emissions of 13,000 diesel cars.
The facility is planned for Langstranda in Bodø and will be one of Europe’s largest hydrogen plants, with a capacity of 6-10 tons of hydrogen per day. Additionally, it will include facilities for the sale and distribution of oxygen, as well as heat exchange for the district heating network.
In brief:
- 10-30 new direct and indirect jobs
- Contributes to increased value creation and new opportunities for Bodø as an international hub for green energy and aviation
- Surplus heat from hydrogen production will be used in the district heating network, and oxygen will support the aquaculture industry
A hydrogen plant of this scale makes Bodø highly attractive as a test base for the future of green aviation. The available oxygen will be very valuable for the aquaculture industry, and there are plans to exchange heat for the district heating network in collaboration with Bodø Energi og Varme.
With this project, Torghatten Nord and GreenH are setting a new standard for green transport and hydrogen production in Norway, with significant positive impacts for both the environment and the local community in Bodø.

Sandnessjøen
In collaboration with Helgeland Havn, GreenH plans to establish a large-scale facility for green hydrogen production at the Horvnes industrial area in Sandnessjøen. Located only 2000 meters from the Sandnessjøen ferry quay, the site is ideal for direct ship bunkering and container transfer. The Sandnessjøen project will offer green hydrogen, produced locally from electricity and water, reducing emissions by eliminating the need for transportation.
What does this mean?
- Strengthens Sandnessjøen’s role as a maritime hub
- Approximately 10-20 new full-time jobs, directly or indirectly connected to production and bunkering
- Future production of competitively priced hydrogen for various pilot projects
- Supplying oxygen to Nordland Settefisk’s fish farming facility
- Supplying surplus heat to Helgelandsbase for heating
Shipping must undergo a necessary green transition, and the goal is to be in commercial operation by 2027.
In addition to supporting the green transition in the maritime sector, the facility will contribute to the circular economy by supplying oxygen to Nordland Settefisk’s fish farming facility and surplus heat to Helgelandsbase for heating. Utilizing these by-products will ensure local ripple effects and a circular economy within the Sandnessjøen project.

Slagentangen – Tønsberg
A letter of intent between Esso Norge, Grieg Edge, North Ammonia, and GreenH opens the door for the production and distribution of green hydrogen and ammonia for the maritime sector. Esso Norge’s terminal at Slagentangen, outside Tønsberg, is strategically located at the entry to the inner Oslofjord and has a long industrial history. This makes Slagentangen ideal for hydrogen production, with large available areas and potential for development.
The project will produce green hydrogen via electrolysis based on Norwegian hydropower and will:
- Supply up to 20,000 tons of hydrogen and 100,000 tons of ammonia annually
- Offer direct hydrogen bunkering from the facility
- Reduce transport costs by producing close to consumers
Slagentangen’s location at the entrance to the Oslofjord provides clear advantages in reducing transport costs, creating a competitive edge. DNV estimates that the Norwegian market for emission-free hydrogen will grow to 64,000 tons by 2024, and we are well-positioned to meet this growing demand.
With a goal of commercial operation by 2027, the facility will support the green transition in the maritime sector and promote the use of green hydrogen.

Vestbase – Kristiansund
Located at Vestbase in Kristiansund, the hydrogen facility will be positioned at one of Norway’s busiest maritime bases, with over 16,000 port calls annually.
NorSea Group and GreenH are collaborating to develop a new hydrogen facility at Vestbase in Kristiansund. The project is an important step in supporting the green transition in the maritime sector, where hydrogen is expected to play a key role.
GreenH has developed a solution for maritime bunkering of pressurized hydrogen to offer hydrogen at attractive locations. By providing direct bunkering from the facility, transportation costs for NorSea’s customers are reduced, making GreenH able to offer hydrogen at competitive prices.
In short:
- The facility will strengthen Kristiansund as a center for green maritime development
- Reduces transportation costs, making hydrogen more competitive for the maritime sector
- Creates opportunities for collaboration with other industries and local businesses
- Positions NorSea Group as a key player in the green transition of the maritime sector
The goal is for the Vestbase facility to become a central hub for hydrogen bunkering in Norway, with the potential to roll out similar solutions to NorSea Group’s other bases, such as Polarbase in Hammerfest. Vestbase is ideally located as a hub for hydrogen development, and with a zoning plan underway, Kristiansund is set to become a leading player in green energy.

Årdalsfjorden
Sammen med Brødrene Nordbø planlegger GreenH å realisere et hydrogenanlegg på Fiskå industriområde i Rogaland. This project will have a significant impact on both the local community and the environment.
The facility will produce green hydrogen using clean energy and water, reducing the need for long-distance transport and thus significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Fiskå industrial area, a 50-acre reclaimed site, is ideally located for hydrogen production, with already approved zoning plans and forward-looking strategies for utilizing by-products like heat and oxygen.
Ferries or other vessels can bunker directly from the facility without safety zones interfering with other operations, thanks to the site’s strategic waterfront location. The area is well-positioned in relation to ferries and industry, contributing to a competitive hydrogen price.
In brief:
- Hydrogen will be produced at competitive prices for use in both industry and the maritime sector
- Strengthens Rogaland’s role as a leading player in green industry
- Creates new jobs and increased activity in the local community
- Surplus heat and oxygen will be supplied to local businesses, providing environmental benefits and increased efficiency
This will be an important contribution to the green transition both in the region and the country. Hydrogen production at Årdalsfjorden demonstrates how we can produce energy in a way that benefits both the environment and society.
