Nordic Hydrogen Week: Hopeful realism
Breathtakingly beautiful and cold but hot insights. That’s what Oulu and the Northern Hydrogen Business Forum were all about. Rather than hype, the event demonstrated transition from vision to practical implementation with deep dives on most potential applications ranging from green steel, maritime and aviation fuels.
As experts of industrial electrification with broad solutions portfolio, Aurora Infrastructure is actively looking to extend our asset base. Therefore, we were eager to hear the latest insights from the viewpoint of end-users, technology developers and of course project developers.
Nordic collaboration
When in Oulu, the Bay of Bothnia and collaboration with Swedish and Norwegian partners is frequent in many domains. As far as energy is concerned, the region is well-positioned for green hydrogen production thanks to its abundant wind power. Furthermore, the planned pipeline in Finland and along the Nordic Hydrogen Route play an important role for both transmission and storage of green hydrogen ensuring affordable logistics.
Building bankable projects together
Green hydrogen projects are often complex and expensive. They require large investments up front and take years to build. If considering the entire value chain there are several bankable projects: wind or solar power plant, hydrogen plant, CO2 capture and e-fuel plant or steel production and logistics need to align for the green hydrogen value chain to become reality.
Having not only one but several bankable projects that align is like putting a puzzle together. This is where our expertise lies. As experts of industrial electrification, we can help find innovative solutions that combine financing, technology and business model. Defining the missing piece together with our strategic partners is what we do best.
Strategic partnerships for resilience
Aurora Infrastructure’s focus is the Nordics. We are already today working with project developers around the Bay of Bothnia with the objective to double our asset base in the coming years. We are looking for long term partnerships. Our know-how in designing, financing, building, owning and operating industrial infrastructure, can free up CAPEX and enable project completion on time and at budget. If you are looking for a long-term partner that can help build bankable projects, let’s talk!
