Production sites
Gen2 Energy’s planned production sites are in the near vicinity of some of the largest renewable energy sources in Norway. These will provide continuous access to cost-efficient renewable energy.
At the moment, Gen2 Energy is working with the following production projects:
Mosjøen in Helgeland region
At the end of the 48 kilometres long Vefsnfjorden is Mosjøen – the oldest town on the coast of Helgeland. Today built around Alcoa’s massive aluminium smelter. And it’s no coincidence that Mosjøen is home to large-scale energy-intensive industry.
Mosjøen is located in the heart of the region with some of Norway’s largest hydropower resources, and still one of a few places in Norway with massive amounts of trapped renewable energy. And this is even before the hydropower resources in one of Norway’s best salmon rivers, Vefsn, that circles around the city – is explored.
At Nesbruket right next to Alcoas aluminium smelter, Gen 2 Energy is planning the build out of 195 MW of green hydrogen production capacity,
Holandsvika
and a few kilometres out along the Vefsnfjord another 500 MW of production capacity – at Holandsvika.
Åfjord in Trøndelag region
Gen2 Energy’s third project Monstad, is located in Åfjord, and here.
Gen2 Energy is planning a 150 MWgreen hydrogen production facility.
We have secured the industrial site Monstad Havneområde in Åfjord to build a production facility for green hydrogen, as well as gain access to quay facilities for the transport of green hydrogen to relevant markets in Europe and Norway. Gen2 Energy plans to build a plant that ensures large-volume production of green hydrogen.
Fosen Peninsula
The Fosen peninsula can track its history 11.000 years back and holds one of Norway’s largest collection of ancient graveyards and building stones. The name – Fosna – means hiding place, but it has not been much hiding for Europe’s largest wind park in recent year.
But when it blows, as it often does at the Fosen peninsula, many of the wind turbines are shut down, as there is not enough demand to match peak production nor sufficient transmission capacity.
Farsund
Farsund, home to Gen2 Energy’s fourth project with a capacity of 150 MW, is located close to Norway’s southernmost point, at Lindesnes Fyr. This is close to where the energy from the country’s first large offshore wind project will be taken to shore. And when it blows in the North Sea – it blows a lot. Then a big steady consumer like Gen2 Energy is needed to consume the production and balance the grid.
Always searching for locations
In addition, Gen2 Energy is continuously and systematically searching for locations for hydrogen production in all parts of Norway based on a set of defined criteria. Easy access to low-priced and trapped power, deep seaport, clean water, sufficient land for production and storage area for containers, are the key criteria.
Our goal is to have a portfolio of production sites that can secure a large-scale production capacity of up to 1 GW within the next five to six years.
Contact us if you have available sites for hydrogen production that matches the key location criteria above.
