CIP, Hy2Gen cancel renewable ammonia project in Norway

Danish renewables developer Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and German hydrogen company Hy2Gen have cancelled a 240MW renewable hydrogen and ammonia project in Norway.

The Iverson eFuels project, planned for Sauda, in southwest Norway, lost its grid access. Norwegian power system operator Statnett decided in late 2025 to withdraw a previously allocated 270MW of electricity capacity because project development was more than two years delayed compared to original plans, Iverson said.

When the Iverson project was announced in 2022, the companies expected construction to begin in 2024 and operations to start in 2027, targeting production of 200,000 t/yr of renewable ammonia.

Statnett said that new capacity could be available only once the grid is upgraded, which is expected in 2033-2035. "Such an uncertain situation" about securing grid capacity "is not compatible with further development of the project," Iverson said.

The project partners will assess possible development of a data centre project at the Sauda site "so that the work and resources invested in the Iverson project can be utilised to create new activity", they said.
