Wood wins FEED job for Norwegian hydrogen project

• Gen2 Energy intends to construct a 100MW green fuel production facility in Mosjøen

Wood has been granted the front-end engineering style (FEED) scope for Gen2 Energy's green hydrogen production center in Mosjøen in northern Norway (envisioned).

Gen2 Energy is a Norwegian firm dedicated to creating, structure, owning and operating an incorporated value chain for green hydrogen.

The firm intends to have a number of large-scale production centers for green hydrogen, making it very easy as well as expense effective for consumers to adapt to green hydrogen.

Wood will use its hydrogen competence as well as breadth of project implementation capabilities to establish the new 100MW plant-- the first large-scale commercial green hydrogen production facility in Norway.

The award adheres to Wood's initial conceptualisation of the plant along with other production centers that Gen2 Energy is developing to speed up the distribution of hydrogen produced in Norway through zero-emission renewable resource to the UK and also throughout Europe.

Due to great accessibility to low-priced electricity, Mosjøen in Vefsn district in northern Norway is an outstanding place for large-scale production of green hydrogen.

The initial phase of Gen2 Energy's plan is to develop a 100MW plant with a continual production of around 45 tonnes of green hydrogen per day.

Wood's vice head of state of Norway Lars Fredrik Bakke said: "We are thrilled to support Gen2 Energy as well as enable the velocity of green hydrogen production in Norway.

" With our deep domain know-how in hydrogen projects, we are well placed to sustain the delivery of large-scale production facilities which will play a vital role in enabling a transition to a reduced carbon energy mix.

" We eagerly anticipate developing our relationship with Gen2 Energy to support their continued development and joining in our shared ambition to produce a greener, a lot more sustainable future."

Gen2 Energy president Jonas Meyer included: "The contract with Wood represents a landmark in Gen2 Energy's targeted work to become aware large-scale production of green hydrogen in Norway.

" In close partnership with Wood, we will certainly construct a center that turns green hydrogen right into a commercial product for markets in Norway and also north Europe. Gen2 Energy's hydrogen experience matches quite possibly with Wood's commercial project capabilities."

This contract will certainly be provided by Wood's existing groups in Norway, with assistance from the company's international professionals from within its procedures and also projects business units.

" Wood will implement the FEED research jointly with workers from Gen2 Energy."
