Cyient Green Hydrogen Contract: Powering Norway’s Maritime Energy Future
In a major development for Norway’s renewable energy sector, Cyient has secured a pivotal green hydrogen contract, partnering with GreenH and Luxcara. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the maritime and heavy transport sectors with sustainable energy solutions. As part of a landmark project, this green hydrogen production facility will play a vital role in transforming Norway’s maritime energy landscape.
A Game-Changer for Norway’s Renewable Energy Ambitions
GreenH, a Norwegian company at the forefront of green hydrogen infrastructure, and Luxcara, a leading Hamburg-based asset manager in renewable energy, have joined forces to establish a cutting-edge green hydrogen facility in Bod, Norway. This initiative is crucial in supporting Norway’s long-term renewable energy goals, especially in maritime transport.
The project will provide green hydrogen fuel to Torghatten Nord AS, a key player in Norway’s maritime energy transformation.
The fuel will be used in the Vestfjorden Ferries, a flagship effort aimed at reducing emissions and promoting cleaner energy in Norway’s ferry operations. This collaboration is a significant step forward in achieving the country’s ambitious climate targets.

Cyient’s Role: Engineering Excellence
Cyient, an Indian multinational technology company, plays a critical role in the success of this project.
Known for its expertise in engineering, manufacturing, data analytics, and network operations, Cyient will provide comprehensive owner’s engineering and detailed plant engineering services. The company’s vast experience in renewable energy, particularly in green hydrogen, will help optimize the project’s delivery and efficiency throughout its lifecycle.
Espen Lied, COO of GreenH, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “We are excited to collaborate with Cyient to bring our hydrogen vision to life in Bod.
With Cyient’s expertise, we’ll complete the detailed engineering of our hydrogen plant and set the stage for procurement, construction, and installation of our first facility.”
The Path Toward Sustainable Maritime Transport
The green hydrogen project is part of Norway’s broader effort to reduce carbon emissions and shift toward cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.
Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy, is considered a game-changer in the transition to sustainable fuels. It is a versatile and efficient energy carrier, capable of supporting various sectors, including transportation and industry.
This project marks the world’s first green hydrogen production facility dedicated to maritime transport. It’s expected to help reduce Norway’s reliance on fossil fuels and significantly cut emissions in the maritime sector, which is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions.
