A partnership including the Norwegian majors Statkraft, Statoil and DNV are to establish a hydrogen research and demonstration centre in Trondheim, Norway.
"Hydrogen is expected to play an important role as an energy carrier in the future," says DNV's Ståle Selmer-Olsen.
The research centre will develop environmentally friendly, profitable and safe ways of producing hydrogen. It will be an important contribution to the national efforts to prepare for a future hydrogen market and will be operative by early 2007. DNV will develop and qualify safe and reliable technology within consulting, qualification and certification based on activities at the hydrogen centre.
