The Norwegian government aims to facilitate development of 30 GW of offshore wind by 2040

Norway aims to become a leading nation within offshore wind, developing and building world-class wind power solutions. The government’s ambition is to allocate areas with the potential for 30 GW of offshore wind production on the Norwegian continental shelf by 2040.

Norway has tremendous potential to become a global leader. A substantial investment in offshore wind along the Norwegian coast can create new jobs and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

As one of Green Region Vestland's 16 strategic green hubs, we are well-positioned for the green transition. We have several new pillars to support us as the oil and gas industry gradually phases out. This includes offshore wind, but also hydrogen, ammonia, fuel cells, and land-based aquaculture.

We believe the supply chain of the future will be green. Fjord Base Group’s ambition is to offer fossil-free fuel to our customers. By 2026, the world’s first ammonia bunkering facility will be located at Fjord Base, putting us at the forefront of the green transition. The projects “Network for Ammonia Bunkering” and “Hydrogen for Maritime Transport” have received significant support from ENOVA.

Offshore Wind

The Fjord Base Group is currently working on facilitating the world’s first ammonia bunkering facility at Fjord Base. The project, called the Ammonia Fuel Bunkering Network, is a collaboration with Azane Fuel Solutions, Yara Clean Ammonia, HyEx Safety, GOT, Hub for Ocean, Fjord Base, and SINTEF Energy.

The project has received DSB approval for construction, and efforts are now focused on obtaining the necessary permits from Kinn Municipality before a final investment decision can be made. If everything goes according to plan, the ammonia bunkering facility could be operational by 2026–27.

Hydrogen

The Fjord Base Group systematically works on various initiatives to create a greener and more sustainable supply base. In 2016, we launched the Lean and Green project, involving many of the companies based at Fjord Base. Through this initiative, we carefully explored all opportunities to become more environmentally friendly in our work methods, operations, and collaboration.

One outcome of the project is Saga Connect, a digital collaboration platform for all stakeholders at the base. Other measures we have implemented include establishing shore power connections at our quays and power outlets for cranes. We also have several ongoing projects, such as setting up charging stations for heavy transport vehicles and various initiatives related to the circular economy.

Fjord Base is one of 16 green hubs in the Green Region Vestland project, which unites efforts for the green transition of the industry in Vestland County.
