After creating an adequate process, Birkeland and Eyde founded the Norsk Hydro-Elektrisk Kvælstofaktieselskab (lit.
Norwegian Hydroelectric Nitrogen Share-Company) to commercialize it.
This undertaking was partially financed by the Wallenbergs, an influential Swedish family.
Norsk Hydro also entered into an agreement with Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas S.A. in 1905.

By the time Norsk Hydro secured financing, some of Birkeland's arc furnaces were already present in the Notodden facility, powered by the Tinfos I Hydroelectric Power Station.
This station was leased from the company Tinfos AS.
 The researchers moved the arc furnace at Vassmoen to the Notodden site in order to test the effect of electric power on fertilizer yield.
After determining what type of furnace was the best choice for mass production, Eyde's previous company Elkem was placed in control of the factory.
