Green Hydrogen Project in Ånge: Creating Sustainable Industrial Hub
Key Ideas
- OX2, Lhyfe, and Velarion are collaborating to establish a hydrogen-based industrial cluster in Ånge, integrating wind power with large-scale green hydrogen production.
- The project aims to use electricity from the wind farm Marktjärn to power a green industrial cluster, fostering sustainable local industry and attracting further industrial establishments.
- The collaboration is set to create a local ecosystem supporting the economy and job creation in the region, with potential partnerships for refining hydrogen and its by-products.
- Velarion plans to build a carbon-neutral fertilizer plant within the cluster, contributing to the region's sustainability goals and green technology advancements.
In Ånge municipality, Sweden, a collaboration between OX2, Lhyfe, and Velarion is underway to establish a hydrogen-based industrial cluster in Grönsta, focusing on green hydrogen production powered by wind energy. OX2 is developing a wind farm in Marktjärn with a capacity of 1.4 TWh annually, providing green electricity for Lhyfe's hydrogen production unit in Torpshammar. Lhyfe specializes in green hydrogen production through water electrolysis using renewable energy sources. The project's goal is to create a carbon-negative industrial cluster, driving sustainability and economic growth in the region. Anders Nilsson from OX2 and Sara Wihlborg from Lhyfe express optimism about the project's potential to attract further industrial development and build a sustainable local ecosystem. Velarion's involvement includes constructing a carbon-neutral fertilizer plant, aligning with the cluster's green objectives. This initiative positions Ånge as a leading player in sustainable industrial development, with long-term benefits expected in terms of economic prosperity and job opportunities.
