TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE NORHyway valley
A snapshot of Central Norway highlighting key use cases, with connections extending south to Slagentangen and Rogaland, and north to Sandnessjøen and Hammerfest.
DRIVING EUROPE'S GREEN HYDROGEN FUTURE
SCALE
- €963M — Projected investment
- 37,081 t/year — Planned H2 production capacity
- Up to 345,000 t/year — CO₂ emissions avoided
- 260+ MW — Total production capacity
STRATEGIC LOCATION
- From Slagentangen to Hammerfest — hydrogen production spanning southeast Norway to the Arctic north
- Trondheim–Oslo corridor, with replica corridors planned to Bodø and Sweden — extending the network north and east
- Connecting the Arctic to central Europe — positioning Norway as a key energy node
MATURITY
- Done piloting, going upscaling — moving from proven pilots to industrial-scale deployment
complete value chain coverage
- Production — green hydrogen generated at source
- Bunkering — fuelling vessels directly from production
- Distribution — moving hydrogen to where it's needed
- End-use — powering vessels, trucks and the grid
diverse offtake
- 4 different sectors as end-users
- Independent but connected use cases
- Sector coupling — value stacked across multiple markets
collaboration and replicability
- Connected to the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and Hydrogen Europe — part of the broader EU hydrogen ecosystem
- Initiator of the North Sea Circle Collaboration — a network connecting hydrogen valleys across Europe
- Designed to be replicable — business cases built from the outset so other regions, operators and valleys can replicate what works
Feasibility
- Building on operational pilots already in place — extending what's already working into full-scale deployment
- Co-funded by Enova and industry, alongside EU support through Horizon Europe
- Scalability already assessed — evaluated as feasible to go from pilot to full scale
- Applying for further innovation support to accelerate deployment
POWERED BY 100% renewable electricity
- 100% renewable electricity powers all hydrogen production across the valley
- Flexible Grid closes the loop — storing surplus renewable power as hydrogen, and releasing it back to the grid when needed
EU Competitiveness & Resilience
- 1,552 potential person-years of work — supporting jobs and industrial capacity across the country
- A resilient, independent energy source — hydrogen adds a storable, standalone alternative alongside the power grid, strengthening regional energy security
