Nordic Hydrogen Corridor
The new Nordic HRS network will enable FCEVs to travel between the metropolitan areas from Norway, through Sweden to Denmark and Finland and further via Germany to other parts of Europe.
8 new hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) to transition into a zero emission replacement of current fossil-based fuel.

fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) produce only water vapor as emissions and clean the air while driving
Along the TEN-T core network in Sweden in the period 2017-2022, enabling zero emission transport between the capitals of the Nordic countries with fuel cell electric vehicles.
The new Nordic HRS network will enable FCEVs to travel between the metropolitan areas from Norway, through Sweden to Denmark and Finland and further via Germany to other parts of Europe. An increased use of fuel cell electric vehicles has been pointed out by the European Commission as an important step to reach an emission free transport sector. By using hydrogen in conjunction with fuel cell technology one gets emission-free vehicles with clean water vapor as the only emission. The hydrogen will cause no greenhouse gas emissions since it will be produced from renewable energy in Scandinavia.

The Nordic Hydrogen Corridor is a study with pilot deployment of 8 hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS), 100 fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and one production unit (electrolyser) to secure dedicated pure green hydrogen production capacity. It is implemented in Sweden along the Scandinavian-Mediterranean Core Network Corridor.
It aims at increasing Hydrogen mobility in Sweden to a level comparable with the neighbouring countries and it will contribute to building one large interconnected hydrogen mobility regions. Outcomes of the pilot and business models will be studied so as to allow wider roll-out of FCEV and HRS along the main roads of Sweden, the Nordic countries and the whole Scan-Med corridor.
- Create broad awareness of opportunities offered by green hydrogen transports and identify suitable locations for hydrogen refueling stations placed along the pre-defined road network corridors
- Initiate dialogue with future customers of fuel cell vehicles within public transport as well as among private vehicle fleet owners
- Identify authorities responsible for applicable permits
- Create alignment with suitable partners in selected locations and perform in-depth analysis of business viability for planned infrastructure investments
- Define technical specifications for production site for green hydrogen and for refuelingstations
- Ensure support for the necessary investment decisions in all locations and for all involved customers
- Establish contact with suitable permitting authorities and initiate permit processes
- Finalise technical and legal preparations for establishing the infrastructure and carry out all construction work
- Ensure ordering fuel cell vehicles according to customers’ requirements
- Ensure spreading information about new hydrogen refueling network in collaboration with partners and customers
- Prepare for commercial operations and for user evaluations
- Perform commercial go-live for the infrastructure and deployment of fuel-cell vehicle fleets
- Follow up and analyse user experience and define recommendations for further steps
- Evaluate business case for the entire value chain and analyse business-client relationship to facilitate broad roll-out of hydrogen transport in the future
