Norwegian chemical tanker owner Odfjell has launched a new flexible fuel cell project that has gained the attention of the country's prime minister, Erna Solberg.

The politician witnessed how the shipowner and its partners Wartsila, Prototech and Lundin Energy Norway are building a pilot system to use fuels including green ammonia and LNG.

She was attending a ceremony marking the expansion of Norway's Sustainable Energy Catapult Centre into a "future fuel test centre".
