AVG Investment Into Clean Hydrogen
GreenStat, as the name suggests, is part of a broad transition in Norway to move from the oil and gas industry to a renewable energy hub. Names such as StatKraft or previously StatOil were operated by the state in order to sustain the energy demands of the nation and export. Now, GreenStat is determined to step in as the leader of renewable energy in the Norwegian market and beyond. Most of their focus is on investments into Hydrogen infrastructure and hydrogen technology. Earlier this year, GreenStat took an investment from Aker Solutions, a former oil and gas development company in Norway. Aker is now focused on hydrogen innovation.
