In Norway, Höegh Autoliners and North Ammonia have signed a partnership for the supply, distribution, delivery, and consumption of green ammonia.
The aim of the agreement is to boost the use of carbon-free maritime fuels in deep-sea shipping, the companies said.
The partnership will enable Höegh Autoliners to meet their commitment to powering at least 5% of the company’s deep-sea operation with green ammonia by 2030 with aim of consuming at least 100,000 metric tons of green ammonia within their fleet by that same year.
“We are proud to partner with an ambitious Norwegian green ammonia supplier to transition towards a more sustainable future. This collaboration will not only reduce our environmental impact and carbon footprint. It will also set a new standard for the industry as a whole and assist our partners and customers in decarbonizing their supply chain,” said Höegh Autoliners’ CEO Andreas Enger.
North Ammonia has selected the Eydehavn site at the Port of Arendal as the locaion for production, storage and export infrastructure.
