Statkraft has decided to stop the new development of green H2 due to increased uncertainty in the market. Parts of the portfolio will be matured before seeking investors to realize the projects.
Statkraft has developed expertise and created value in green H2 projects in line with our strategy across various European markets, including Norway, Sweden, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy.
The company has decided to halt the new development of H2, though parts of the portfolio will be further matured before seeking investors to realize the projects. Several projects have received substantial external funding opportunities, and the company is working with authorities to ensure their progression.
“After reducing the ambition level on green H2 development last year, we are experiencing even more uncertainty in the market. Therefore, Statkraft has decided to stop new development of green H2 and going forward we will prioritize growth opportunities in other technologies, and market operations,” said Birgitte Ringstad Vartdal, President and CEO of Statkraft.
Statkraft continues to believe in the long-term future of green H2 and its importance in reducing emissions from carbon-intensive industries. Market activities related to H2 will continue to be part of Statkraft’s portfolio.
