The Norwegian Ministry of Energy and Petroleum has issued a new tender titled “Hydrogen Infrastructure Development 2024-2025,” published on December 19, 2024.
Interested parties are required to submit their proposals by February 6, 2025. This tender is a significant milestone for the hydrogen industry as Norway seeks to enhance its capability in hydrogen production and distribution, supporting its transition towards cleaner energy sources.
The primary objective of this tender is to develop a robust hydrogen infrastructure across Norway, aiming to facilitate the country’s shift towards sustainable energy. This involves the construction of hydrogen production facilities, storage units, and distribution networks. By expanding the hydrogen infrastructure, Norway intends to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and encourage the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy resource.
Participating companies are expected to demonstrate expertise in contemporary energy solutions and sustainable construction practices. They should present a detailed plan that includes timelines, costs, and potential environmental impact. One of the key requirements is to ensure that all facilities are environmentally friendly and comply with local and international regulations on emissions and energy efficiency.
