HyNor and StatoilHydro officially open hydrogen highway
The HyNor Partnership and StatoilHydro held the official opening of the Norwegian hydrogen highway, HyNor, on 11 May 2009 at StatoilHydro’s new hydrogen station at Økern in Oslo.
Green Car Congress reports that two additional hydrogen filling stations were officially opened, in Oslo and Lier, bringing the total to four. Another four are planned in Norway to complete the Norwegian hydrogen highway connecting Oslo and Bergen.
The Norwegian initiative is part of the Scandinavian Hydrogen Highway Partnership (SHHP). Throughout Norway, Sweden and Denmark fifteen major filling stations (dubbed "nodes") and thirty so-called satellites, designed to distribute smaller volumes in more remote areas, are planned. The partnership's ambitions are to get up to a hundred buses, five hundred cars and five hundred special duty vehicles on the roads in Scandinavia in the period 2012 to 2015.
