The Holmaneset project has progressed to the next phase, providing the potential for the development of the 300MW project and supporting infrastructure in Norway.
FFI recently completed a Scoping Study to identify the Holmaneset site, and is now conducting several environmental and social studies to access its viability and developing a project concept in line with Norwegian regulations, FFI’s environmental and social policies and values.
Mark Hutchinson, FFI CEO, said, “The development of green hydrogen and green ammonia provides opportunities for Norway to achieve its ambitious goals to reduce European greenhouse emissions and become a leader in the transition to a low carbon society.”
The project has commenced the Zoning Plan process, which includes a series of investigations, including an environmental impact assessment, and provide several opportunities for stakeholders to interact and formally comment on the zoning place documentation.
Consideration has been given to help position the project for success, such as existing grid and power capacity, proximity to existing infrastructure, land availability, water sources, topography and the local environment and surrounding communities.
Last year, FFI and Tree Energy Solutions (TES) agreed to develop the ‘world’s largest’ green hydrogen integrated project, to bring green molecules to Europe.
The two companies plan to develop industrial-scale green hydrogen production globally with an initial focus on Australia, Europe, Middle East and Africa. In the project’s first phase, it aims to supply 300,000 tonnes of green hydrogen.

FFI recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Enersense Energy Namibia (EEN) to develop a green hydrogen and green ammonia project in Namibia.
Under the MoU, FFI will offer support, knowledge and guidance to the Daures Green Hydrogen Village during its initial stage and aims to revolutionise farming in Africa by producing agricultural produce using fertilisers made from green ammonia, and to supply green hydrogen and green ammonia to regional and international markets.
