The Hynor-project

The Hydrogen Project HyNor are building a hydrogen road between Stavanger and Oslo. HyNor was established in spring 2003. Total 50 players in the industry, transport, regional governments and organizations are included in HyNor. The purpose of the project is to lay the foundation for a broad testing of hydrogen in the transport sector in Norway.

The idea is to build an initial hydrogen infrastructure, as part of a future permanent infrastructure. In the course of 2009 it will be possible to drive hydrogen-fueled vehicles between Oslo and Stavanger.
