Due to continuing consequences from Covid-19 and operational restrictions the time of start-up of the plant is pushed from 31 March 2022 to 17 May 2022.
Vår Energi is partnering with Equinor and Horisont Energi to explore the possibilities for producing blue ammonia from natural gas, with CO2 capture and storage, in Hammerfest.
Based on extensive analyses and mapping of damages, Equinor has updated the schedule for repair and start-up of the LNG plant on Melkøya after the fire on 28 September 2020.
Mapping of the extent of the damage after the fire at Hammerfest LNG on 28 September indicates that the LNG plant will be closed for up to 12 months for repairs.
