H2 Production AS

Hydrogen producer in Western Norway

H2 Production is a subsidiary to CCB Energy, with a focus on production of clean energy and other hydrogen based energy carriers.

In the Energy Park, the company in 2023 supported ZEG Power with the installation of a hydrogen production pilot. The pilot is intended to demonstrate ZEG`s technology, which in practice represent a hydrogen plant where hydrogen is produced from natural gas with carbon capture integrated into the production process.  

Owners and technology provider

The owners behind H2 Production are Bernh. Larsen Holding and Norsea Industrial Holdings, as equal parties, and with Wilhelmsen New Energy as the main owner of the latter. With a long and solid background from the petroleum and energy industry through its owner constellation, H2 Production is in posession of important knowledge and necessary, industrial knowledge.

The hydrogen plant itself is a pilot plant based on ZEG's unique and patented technology. A demo version of the technology is established and tested at a site outside Oslo, but the pilot is the first in the world of its kind, with a small industrial commercial scale.

Hydrogen and carbon capture

The production plant in the Energy Park will produce clean hydrogen from natural gas, while capturing the CO₂ in the production process. The captured carbon may be removed entirely from the carbon cycle by storing it away permanently. Alternatively it can be utilized as a utility product in for example food production.

The Energy Park offers a unique opportunity for this type of technology, with both localy available natural gas and corresponding infrastructure of CO₂ storage.

Unique location and short distances

The Energy Park is a very favourable location for the production of hydrogen as part of a complete and sustainable value chain, with emphasis on short-distance solutions.

Two gas pipelines run through The Energy Park from the terminal, located less than 2 000 meters away.

Along the harbour of the Energy Park, just 800 metres from the hydrogen plant, Northern Lights JV is located with its new CO₂ reception facility. From here, captured carbon will be transported within short distance by pipelines for permanent storage in reservoirs under the seabed.
