Hydrogen & Power-to-X Services
We recognize the importance of clean energy solutions, including green and blue hydrogen. Norconsult is a leading player in the market for early-phase engineering for hydrogen and its derivatives. With extensive expertise, we offer all engineering design disciplines and assessment for approvals / permits required for industrial development of complete production and distribution facilities, from energy production, to transmission, hydrogen / derivatives production, compression, storage, distribution and bunkering.
Norconsult’s dedication to the project, and willingness to collaborate with Fortescue’s own engineering team produced an excellent result for the Holmaneset Project

Ambitious Import Goals for Hydrogen and Ammonia Under REPowerEU
The REPowerEU plan sets a goal to import 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen annually by 2030, supplementing the EU’s domestic production of an equal amount.
Additionally, the plan aims to import 4 million tons of hydrogen in the form of ammonia each year by 2030, which translates to approximately 20 million tons of ammonia. These imports are essential for supporting the EU’s broader hydrogen objectives and industrial sectors such as steel-making
Power-to-X Optimization Framework
Norconsult leverages its proprietary Power-to-X optimization framework to determine nameplate capacities for power production and plant configurations, using wind and solar data. By optimizing the solar and wind energy mix, we ensure a consistent power profile for the production facilities, focusing on minimizing production variance to reduce curtailment and avoid costly over-dimensioning. Our aim is to effectively select concepts, aligning with market demands and equipment constraints. Comprehensive energy balance evaluations and advanced site-specific studies optimize solar and wind configurations. This systematic, data-driven approach ensures the lowest levelized costs and supports client project's economic viability.
