Cyient, a global provider of intelligent engineering solutions, has secured a strategic contract to support GreenH Bodø in developing and executing a hydrogen production and distribution facility at Langstranda in Bodø, Norway. This initiative forms part of a joint venture between GreenH and Luxcara.
GreenH is a Norway-based company specializing in infrastructure for producing and distributing green hydrogen derived from renewable energy. Luxcara, an independent asset manager headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, is dedicated to advancing renewable energy projects across Europe.
The Bodø project marks a significant advancement in Norway’s renewable energy strategy, with a focus on supplying green hydrogen to the maritime and heavy transport sectors. Under a long-term agreement with Torghatten Nord AS, the facility will provide clean hydrogen fuel for the Vestfjorden ferries, an anchor initiative in Norway’s maritime green energy transition. With civil construction having commenced in fall 2024, this partnership represents a key milestone in delivering an innovative and sustainable energy solution.
Cyient’s scope of work includes providing comprehensive owner’s engineering and detailed plant engineering services. Cyient will leverage its extensive experience in green and renewable energy engineering including green hydrogen towards optimizing project delivery and enhancing efficiency through the lifecycle of this momentous project.
Speaking on the collaboration, Espen Lied, COO, GreenH, said, “We are excited to collaborate with Cyient to bring our hydrogen vision to life in Bodø. With Cyient’s expertise, we’ll complete the detailed engineering of our hydrogen plant and provide the basis for procurement, construction, and installation of our first facility for production and direct bunkering of green hydrogen.”
“Green or clean hydrogen is a game-changer in the world’s energy transition to sustainable fuels, and it is considered an efficient energy carrier. We are extremely proud and happy to have received our large order for the engineering delivery of the world’s first-of-its-kind green hydrogen production for maritime transport. Based on our strong track record of implementing efficient and cost-effective balance of plant design on all projects that we have executed, we are confident that we can assist GreenH and Luxcara to make this prestigious hydrogen project a great success,” said, Espen Berg, Managing Director, Cyient Norway.
