Norwegian Hydrogen has awarded Worley Rosenberg the Front‑End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract, with an option for Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), for its 35 MW RjukanLH2 liquid hydrogen project in Rjukan, Norway. The contract marks a key step towards delivering the Nordic region’s first industrial‑scale liquid hydrogen facility, with a planned output of up to 10 tonnes of liquid hydrogen per day.
The plant will integrate pressurised alkaline electrolysis with on‑site liquefaction, powered by renewable electricity from the local Rjukan grid under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tinn Energi. Norwegian Hydrogen says the agreement ensures long‑term price stability and full traceability that meets strict EU green hydrogen criteria. Hydrogen from the facility is earmarked primarily for maritime and industrial applications, among the most difficult sectors to decarbonise.
Commercially, Samskip has committed to purchase liquid hydrogen for zero‑emission maritime and logistics operations, with additional offtakers in the pipeline. Deliveries are expected to start in 2028. The project has also secured backing from the EU Innovation Fund, the EU Hydrogen Bank, and Innovation Norway, highlighting its role in advancing Europe’s hydrogen value chain.
The FEED phase will cover process, mechanical, electrical, civil and instrumentation engineering, plus integration of pre‑selected electrolyser and liquefaction technology packages. Worley Rosenberg will simultaneously prepare an EPC execution plan, with the full construction phase targeted for the second half of 2026. Work will be led from the firm’s Stavanger office, with support from centres in The Hague and India, under a modular design strategy aimed at reducing on‑site risk and improving cost‑efficient fabrication.
