One of Europe’s Largest Green Hydrogen Clusters to Be Developed in Sweden

Lhyfe, OX2, and Velarion Collaborate on Hydrogen-Based Industrial Cluster in Ånge
Lhyfe, a global leader in green hydrogen production, OX2, one of Europe’s largest developers of onshore wind farms, and Velarion, an innovative green fertilizer company, have joined forces to establish a hydrogen-based industrial cluster in the Ånge municipality of Sweden. This project, located in Grönsta, north of Torpshammar, aims to combine wind energy with large-scale green hydrogen production to create carbon-neutral products.

Wind Energy Powering Green Hydrogen Production

OX2 is developing the Marktjärn wind farm in Torpshammar, with a planned annual production capacity of 1.4 TWh. This renewable electricity will power a hydrogen production facility capable of producing up to 100 tons of hydrogen per day, with an electrolyzer capacity of approximately 300 MW.

“We are excited about the potential of this project, which will use electricity from the Marktjärn wind farm to power a green industrial cluster, enabling sustainable local industries and enhancing Ånge’s attractiveness for further industrial investments,” said Anders Nilsson, Head of Onshore Wind Power at OX2.

Building a Local Ecosystem

“Due to the significant production capacity, we are in talks with several companies interested in refining hydrogen and its by-products. This collaboration will help build a local ecosystem, contributing to regional economic growth and job creation,” added Sara Wihlborg, National Coordinator at Lhyfe.

Green Hydrogen for Sustainable Fertilizers
A key partner in this initiative, Velarion, plans to build one of the world’s first carbon-neutral fertilizer factories within the cluster. This cutting-edge facility will use green hydrogen to produce green ammonia, significantly reducing carbon emissions in fertilizer production. The green ammonia will meet the growing market demand for sustainable agricultural products.

Representatives from Lhyfe, OX2, and Velarion envision making Ånge a green industrial hub for the region. The project’s long-term benefits aim to position the municipality as a leader in sustainable industry, attracting more companies to invest.

Next Steps

The project is currently in its conceptual phase. Its implementation depends on the outcomes of feasibility studies, the issuance of operating licenses and environmental permits, and funding decisions.
