Under construction near the Norwegian Port of Berlevag, is about to become part of the World's most Efficient Wind Farm.
By Early Next year, it will house a devise called an Electrolyzer, Powered by the Norse Wind, and will produce Hydrogen Fuel for a growing army of Cars, Buses, Forlifts, and Trucks, and Hydrogen Stations in the Oslo Suburbs will soon be ready to fill them up.
The Hydrogen-Battery Revolution has been 10 years away for Decades now. But Norway, Europe's No. 1 in Electric Vehicles, is on track to become a Leading Adopter of the Universe's most abundant Element.
Proponents say it will become an Essential Component of a more Environmentally Friendly Future as a growing supply of Renewable generated Hydrogen makes the Fuel more Competitive.
One longtime knock on Hydrogen has been that Fossil Fuels are often required to generate it. Not so at the Berlevag Wind Farm, or in the Norwegian City of Trondheim, where Technicians employed by Swedish Vehicle manufacturer Scania AB is working with Hydrogen Electrolyzers and tanks that will be fueled by Solar Panels.
This Hydrogen setup will Power a Fleet of Forklifts and Trucks being tested for ASKO, a Local Grocery Wholesaler.
For now, the Dirtier Forms of Hydrogen Production remain less than half as Expensive as Renewable ones. That's a headache for Norway's Government, which Plans to halt Sales of Fossil-Fuel Powered Cars by 2025 and expects to have as many as 500,000 Hydrogen Cars on the road in the Country, a few years later.
At he very least, that would mean a lot more Electrolyzers in places like Berlevag.
