Plans announced for European hydrogen transport

Uniper, Provaris and Norwegian Hydrogen to partner in the supply of green hydrogen from the Nordic countries to Germany using Provaris’ proprietary compressed hydrogen H2Neo carriers.

The companies will collaborate in exploring the potential for Uniper to off-take RFNBO1 compliant hydrogen, which will be produced by Norwegian Hydrogen and transported and stored using Provaris’ H2Neo carriers and H2Leo storage barges.

In April 2024, Provaris and Norwegian Hydrogen extended their partnership to accelerate the development of new hydrogen export sites across the Nordic region. Building on the successful pre-development activities of the FjordH2 project in Norway, the new export projects will be strategically located in areas with strong grid connections and reliable power supplies. These hydrogen production and export facilities and transportation of compressed hydrogen using Provaris’ H2Neo carriers will provide cost-competitive gaseous hydrogen supply to Europe.
