Höegh Evi and Nord Gas Solutions Validate Ammonia-to-Hydrogen Cracking

A pilot project in Stord, Norway, has successfully converted ammonia into high-purity hydrogen, marking a technical breakthrough for floating energy terminals. Testing conducted by Höegh Evi and Nord Gas Solutions confirmed the system can achieve hydrogen purity levels exceeding 99.5 percent in a stable, scalable process.

The cracker demonstrated consistent performance across critical metrics, including conversion rate and overall energy efficiency. By utilizing a modular design, the technology is intended for deployment on both land-based sites and floating terminals, with the companies aiming to support industrial-scale production of up to 200,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year. The project is backed by the Norwegian Green Platform, with contributions from BASF, the University of South-East Norway, and the Institute for Energy Technology.

Nils Jakob Hasle, EVP of Clean Energy at Höegh Evi, noted that the results validate the viability of floating terminals as a fast-track solution for hydrogen distribution. The companies are currently moving toward long-term testing phases as they advance plans for maritime import terminals across Europe. These hubs are positioned to serve as vital gateways, receiving ammonia shipments and processing them into clean energy for industrial use.
