This grant funds the establishment of ammonia bunkering infrastructure (storage tanks, fuelling equipment, quay development) along the Norwegian coastline to support the emerging ammonia-powered maritime fuel value chain. Eligible applicants are infrastructure developers and operators who can demonstrate project maturity, cost efficiency, and secured customer demand by the October 2025 deadline.
About this grant
This programme, now expired, was designed to help establish the first network of ammonia bunkering facilities along parts of the Norwegian coastline. Bunkering infrastructure for ammonia — including storage tanks and fuelling equipment — functions as the equivalent of petrol stations for new ammonia-powered vessels. The programme represented a critical link in demonstrating the first functioning value chain for ammonia as a maritime fuel. The programme aimed to ensure that bunkering facilities would be operational in time for the first ammonia vessels entering service, anticipated around 2027. Enova provided investment support covering a portion of the costs of establishing such bunkering infrastructure, including planning, project management, storage tanks, technical equipment, electrical installations, civil works, quay development, and permit acquisition. Only one application round was planned, with a deadline of 24 October 2025. Priority was given to projects that minimised the price premium on ammonia between producer and end-user, demonstrated project maturity and viability within the allocated support, and could show a visible customer base in both the short and long term.

Eligibility
Applicants must be companies or organisations seeking to establish ammonia bunkering infrastructure along the Norwegian coastline. Projects must qualify against defined qualification criteria before proceeding to ranking. The programme is targeted at entities operating within the Norwegian maritime sector. No further explicit restrictions on organisation type are described on the page, but projects must demonstrate maturity, a visible customer base, and cost-effectiveness.
How it's scored
Applications are evaluated in two stages: first, projects must meet defined qualification criteria. Qualified projects then proceed to ranking, which is based on three factors: project maturity (readiness to realise the project with the allocated support), customer base (visibility of demand in the short and long term), and cost-effectiveness (minimising the price premium on ammonia between producer and end-user). Detailed scoring criteria are contained in the programme's terms and conditions document.
Key requirements
- ✓Bunkering facility must be operational by ~2027 to serve first ammonia-powered vessels
- ✓Project must demonstrate maturity and viability within allocated support budget
- ✓Applicant must show visible customer base (both short and long term) for ammonia fuel offtake
- ✓Priority given to projects minimising price premium on ammonia between producer and end-user
- ✓Eligible costs include planning, project management, storage tanks, technical equipment, electrical installations, civil works, quay development, and permit acquisition

About this sector
Hydrogen and e-fuels funding supports electrolysers, production plants, storage, transport and end uses in industry, shipping and aviation. Support is often tied to low-carbon production standards and offtake from named users. Calls commonly ask for a site, a supply of renewable power and a consortium that covers production through to demand.
