Partnership for a green energy transition
Introducing HEGRA – Norway’s largest climate initiative to enable the hydrogen economy
Along with Aker Horizons and Statkraft, <<HEGRA>> short for HErøya GReen Ammonia aims to electrify and decarbonize the ammonia plant at Herøya, Porsgrunn. Green ammonia, produced using renewable energy, would enable the production of carbon free fertilizer, and is a promising zero emission fuel for the maritime sector. HEGRA will contribute to creating new industry based on a regional hydrogen and ammonia market, whilst ensuring the survival and competitiveness of the Norwegian maritime and processing industries. The decarbonization project will reduce CO2-emissions by 800,000 tonnes annually.
