RWE AG and Equinor AS said they would build new hydrogen-ready gas power plants, as well as a pipeline to send the green fuel to Germany from Norway.
The countries will “accelerate the creation of a functioning hydrogen market, a value chain,” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said Thursday in Oslo, where he met German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck. Both sides also agreed on a deeper cooperation on expanding renewables and the green industry.
