On the windswept plateau above Berlevåg, Raggovidda Wind Park stands as a symbol of Norway’s renewable future. Operated by Varanger Kraft, its powerful Arctic winds generate clean energy with world-leading efficiency and now drive green hydrogen production on the nearby coast. In this groundbreaking project, Swagelok Norway provides the advanced fluid system technology that helps ensure safe and reliable hydrogen handling.
Early in the project, when we were searching for suppliers of tubing and fittings, our project manager, with a background in the oil and gas industry, told us that Swagelok is “Rolls-Royce.” And I said, “Let’s choose Rolls-Royce because we are dealing with hydrogen, and we need to ensure that this will be a safe plant.” I called Swagelok, Remi came up here, and our collaboration started.
As part of Varanger Kraft’s hydrogen project, we had a group of engineers and technicians come to our training facility in Stavanger. The course included both theoretical sessions and hands-on practical exercises. This ensures they are familiar with our assembly practices and quality standards before starting installation work on site in Berlevåg. Today, they are observing the fabrication of the cabinets in our workshop downstairs and participating in the theoretical sessions at the same time.
Custom subsystem assemblies—including skids, manifolds, and preassembled fluid packages—are customer-specific assemblies that Swagelok centers commonly design and deliver ready for installation. This reduces on-site work for remote locations, as in this project. In October 2025, Remi Kristiansen traveled north to meet the client and inspect the installations on site in Berlevåg.
This is one of the cabinets that was delivered to Varanger Kraft Hydrogen. It is a metering cabinet designed for 500 bar operating pressure and essentially built with Swagelok FK products. The FK series is the core of the system, and it is designed to handle extreme pressure and ensure safe, reliable connections throughout. This project demonstrates how quality products, combined with strong engineering competence, result in safe and dependable solutions for our customers.
The collaboration has been very good, and the plant is now operational.
