Q1 2025: North Ammonia and Höegh Evi to explore a clean ammonia supply chain from Norway to Europe

North Ammonia, a developer of RFNBO (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) ammonia facilities in Norway, and Höegh Evi, a global leader in marine energy infrastructure, have signed an agreement to explore a value chain for supplying hydrogen to European industrial users using green ammonia produced in Norway.

Norway offers vast renewable energy resources that can be used to produce clean ammonia—a key carrier for transporting hydrogen efficiently over long distances. Together, North Ammonia and Höegh Evi will explore the technical and commercial solutions needed to facilitate the development of attractive scalable infrastructure to support further development of the market. Höegh Evi is currently developing floating import terminals for hydrogen, using its unique ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker. 

“Ammonia is a versatile energy vector with several end user markets currently being matured. In North Ammonia, we actively develop infrastructure for RFNBO ammonia supply to the maritime industry and with solutions from Höegh Evi we can broaden our offering and bring hydrogen to industrial users across Europe”, says Mikkel Tørud, CEO of North Ammonia.

“As Europe moves toward cleaner energy sources, hydrogen will play a crucial role in reducing emissions from hard-to-abate industries such as steel, chemicals, and heavy transport. By combining North Ammonia’s production capabilities with Höegh Evi’s expertise in marine infrastructure, we will identify the infrastructure needed to connect Norwegian renewable resources with the growing market for clean hydrogen in Europe,” said Nils Jakob Hasle, EVP Clean Energy in Höegh Evi.

Working together, North Ammonia and Höegh Evi aim to strengthen energy cooperation between Norway and Europe, creating a reliable and scalable supply chain for clean hydrogen and ammonia to support Europe’s ambitious climate and energy goals.
