<p><strong>Hydropower company Statkraft and Norwegian utility company Skagerak Energi have been chosen to </strong><a href="https://www.skagerakenergi.no/pressemeldinger/verdens-forste-hydrogendrevne-lasteskip-far-gront-hydrogen-fra-skagerak-energi-og-statkraft-article3689-1521.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>supply</strong></a><strong> green hydrogen to a zero-emission bulk carrier.</strong> Slated to be the world’s first hydrogen-powered cargo ship, the project is being planned by building materials company HeidelbergCement and Norwegian agricultural cooperative Felleskjøpet. The concept involves replacing containers with compressed hydrogen and is flexible so that it can be used both for transport and for other purposes. The ship will transport grain from Eastern Norway to Western Norway and rock and gravel on the way back and will sail using emission-free green hydrogen in combination with rotor sails. The project aims to cut down Norway’s carbon emissions.</p>
