Norway has several major players in the hydrogen area, and in December of last year PowerCell Sweden signed a memorandum of understanding with the Norwegian company Statkraft regarding a cooperation within energy solutions based on hydrogen and fuel cells.
In recent years, Norway has also introduced more stringent emissions requirements pertaining to carbon dioxide and harmful particles for construction machinery, construction sites and coastal shipping, which has driven significant interest in hydrogen-based zero-emissions solutions.
“Norway has a number of crucial conditions in place, which make the market tremendously interesting to us. Through local establishment, we intend both to increase our sales in the Norwegian market and to further develop and improve our global offering by benefiting from the fact that Norway is far ahead in the hydrogen area,” says Richard Berkling, CEO of PowerCell Sweden AB. “We see that the market is maturing rapidly and has a characteristic where our solutions for the stationary and marine segments can create great customer value.”
