- The hydrogen plant will have a capacity of 600 MW, producing up to 240 tonnes per day.
- The project will be located near the Storgrundet offshore wind farm in Söderhamn, Sweden.
- The wind farm will have an installed power of 1 GW.
- The project aims to connect to the Nordic Hydrogen Backbone.
Project Overview
Lhyfe and wpd have partnered to produce renewable green hydrogen at the Storgrundet offshore wind farm in Söderhamn, Sweden. The collaboration aims to leverage Sweden's favorable market conditions and ambitious climate goals.
Production Capacity
The hydrogen production site will be directly connected to the 1 GW Storgrundet wind farm, ensuring a reliable source of green electricity. The hydrogen plant is planned to have a capacity of 600 MW, producing up to 240 tonnes of green hydrogen per day.
Infrastructure and Location
Both the hydrogen plant and the wind farm will be connected to the transmission network, optimizing electricity market participation. The facility will be located on an industrial site in Söderhamn, close to the wind farm, with excellent conditions for grid connection and green electricity access.
Market Potential
The project aims to connect to the Nordic Hydrogen Backbone, enhancing the potential for further processing and use of green hydrogen in the region. Various industries and ongoing projects in the surrounding area represent potential offtakes for the produced hydrogen.
Environmental Impact
Using offshore wind power to produce green hydrogen offers an attractive alternative to fossil fuels in manufacturing and transport. This initiative supports Sweden's climate goals and contributes to the global energy transition.
