TECO 2030 has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with UiT The Arctic University of Norway to cooperate on enhancing research and education in Norway on hydrogen and fuel cells. The agreement has been signed between TECO 2030 and UiT's Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology. This faculty offers courses in hydrogen and fuel cells, and is based in Narvik in northern Norway, in the same city where TECO 2030 is currently working to set up Norway's first large-scale production of hydrogen fuel cells. The TECO 2030 Innovation Center in Narvik will be a combined factory and innovation centre. Here, TECO 2030 will produce hydrogen fuel cells that are specifically designed for use on ships and other heavy-duty applications. As part of the agreement, TECO 2030 will contribute to improving UiT's research and education in the field of hydrogen fuel cells. TECO 2030 will give UiT researchers and students the opportunity to use the fuel cell element testing facilities at the TECO 2030 Innovation Center during periods when they are not used in the production of fuel cells. TECO 2030 and UiT will together also identify and cooperate on creating hydrogen-related projects for marine and land-based applications. They will jointly conduct research projects and they will cooperate on increasing the efficiency of the fuel cell production equipment at the TECO 2030 Innovation Center.
