This ferry is a part of the road network, basically, so the ferries are publically funded. The politicians/goverment have decided that the new ferries in this area of Norway should be only hydrogen or battery powered. So they put out contracts and shipping companies won the contracts and built the ships.
Part of this is to make it CO2 emission free, but part of it is also the government investing in R&D to get more knowledge of how ships like these work or don’t work.

… Why not?
Too much public money laying around not to do it.
High taxes have to go somewhere.
