King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands concluded his Scandinavian trip in Norway.
The Dutch monarch travelled to Oslo on 13 November as part of a two-country visit focusing on the development of the hydrogen market in northwestern Europe.
The King had been in Denmark undertaking engagements alongside Danish King Frederik in the days prior.
His Majesty was joined by a Dutch business delegation and Sophie Hermans, the Minister of Climate and Green Growth.
While in Norway, Crown Prince Haakon accompanied the King on hydrogen-focused engagements, including a trip to the company Hystar in Høvik to view its innovation lab. They then attended a round table discussion on the role hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives have in decarbonising the maritime sector.
Of course, a trip to Norway is not complete without a lunch at the Royal Palace. King Harald and Queen Sonja hosted King Willem-Alexander for a private lunch, which Crown Prince Haakon and Princess Astrid also attended.
On 14 November, the Dutch King visited the hydrogen producer ZEG in Kollsnes and the Northern Lights plant in Øygarden. He later toured Bryggen in Bergen – a UNESCO-protected building from the Hanseatic period. The Royal House says the property is “an important reminder of several hundred years of economic cooperation between Norway and the Netherlands.”
King Willem-Alexander concluded his visit with a boat ride in Oslo Harbour to see the green initiatives carried out in the area.
