Below we outline the key terms used to describe different types of hydrogen projects in the Nordic region.
Hydrogen valley
Nordic hydrogen valleys are projects that:
- Cover a specific geography in at least one Nordic country
- Cover at least two steps of the hydrogen value chain (production ➔ distribution ➔ use)
- Have a hydrogen production capacity exceeding 500 tpa
- Supply hydrogen to at least two different end-use sectors
- Have at least reached the feasibility phase (i.e., are working on a feasibility study)
Hydrogen hotspot
Hydrogen hotspots are projects that fulfill:
- Criterion 1 and
- At least 2 of criteria 2-5 in the “Nordic hydrogen valley” definition
Other hydrogen projects
Potentially interesting hydrogen projects that were identified in the mapping but failed to meet the definition of a hydrogen valley or a hydrogen hotspot
