Unveiling Mid-Norway Hydrogen Valley

Objective

NORHyWAY will establish a mature, scalable Hydrogen Valley in Mid-Norway, creating a fully integrated and self-sustaining ecosystem that spans the entire hydrogen value chain—production, distribution, storage, and diverse end-use. Building on operational pilots and early demonstration projects, NORHyWAY moves to full-scale deployment, aiming to produce 17,350 tonnes/year of green hydrogen.
NORHyWAY’s strategic geographic location links central Europe to the Arctic and connects Sweden, Finland, and the Baltics to the Atlantic through vital transport corridors. This makes the region a key node in Europe’s energy transition, offering resilient logistics and market access. The project harnesses the area’s abundant, low-cost renewable energy and industrial capacity to deliver cost-competitive hydrogen.

NORHyWAY features five interconnected yet independent use cases—blue economy, maritime, road transport, e-methanol, and grid flexibility—ensuring wide offtake diversity and system resilience through sector-coupling. The use cases are supported by enabling activities such as safety planning, regulatory compliance reviews, digitalisation for process efficiency, and a marketplace for producer-offtake integration. An LCA-based sustainability assessment will validate GHG reductions as well as air quality improvements, while monitoring and modelling will optimise system integration and performance.

Backed by industry leaders, research institutions, and strong government support, NORHyWAY represents a high-maturity, low-risk initiative. Cross-border collaboration within a North Sea Circle and alignment with the Clean Hydrogen Partnership foster knowledge sharing, replication, and integration into EU transport and energy networks.

By scaling proven pilots into a cohesive valley, NORHyWAY delivers a replicable blueprint for hydrogen deployment across Europe—advancing climate goals, energy security, and sustainable industrial transformation.
