Green ammonia, produced using renewable energy, would enable the production of carbon free fertilizer, and is a promising zero emission fuel for the maritime sector. HEGRA will contribute to creating new industry based on a regional hydrogen and ammonia market, whilst ensuring the survival and competitiveness of the Norwegian maritime and processing industries. The decarbonization project will reduce CO2-emissions by 800,000 tonnes annually.
