The pair will collaborate to link North Ammonia’s planned production sites in Norway with demand in Europe, via deployment of Höegh’s under-development floating ammonia cracker. These “floating import terminals” will form part of the infrastructure to enable hydrogen-as-ammonia imports to the EU, along with connections to hydrogen transport pipelines. North Ammonia has already reached an agreement to provide marine ammonia fuel for Höegh Autoliners’ fleet of Aurora-class car carriers (from 2030), and is establishing an ammonia fuel production base in Florø, Norway (an existing oil & gas hub).

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.

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.
