Innovative Hydrogen Production Project Planned Next to Korpa in Reykjavík
Key Ideas
- Hydrogen production and refueling station planned next to the Landsnet substation in Reykjavík.
- 5-megawatt electrolyzer to be installed by mid-2027, with an estimated capacity of 775 tons per year, expandable to 10 megawatts.
- Project seen as a significant step in Iceland's energy transition, aiding heavy-duty transport and industry, aligning with government's energy and climate goals.
- Landsvirkjun, Linde, and Olís involved in the project to produce and distribute hydrogen, with plans for a hydrogen filling station.
A project to produce hydrogen and build a refueling station is in the works next to the Landsnet substation and Veitur distribution station at Korpa in Reykjavík, Iceland. The initiative involves companies like Landsvirkjun, Linde, and Olís. The hydrogen will be produced through electrolysis of water, with a 5-megawatt electrolyzer set to be operational by mid-2027, capable of producing 775 tons of hydrogen annually. There are plans to double this capacity to 1,550 tons per year in the coming years. This project is a significant move in Iceland's energy transition, especially benefiting heavy-duty land transport and various industries, while supporting government objectives in energy and climate matters. Linde's involvement brings expertise in hydrogen technology, with a focus on distributing hydrogen nationwide. Olís aims to operate a hydrogen filling station, facilitating hydrogen use for vehicles of different sizes. The filling station will be strategically located next to the electrolyzer, enhancing accessibility for hydrogen-powered vehicles.
