Lhyfe, OX2, and Velarion Team Up to Develop Hydrogen-Based Industrial Cluster

Lhyfe, a green hydrogen producer, announced that it is joining forces with OX2, a Europe-based onshore wind developer, and Velarion, a company within the green fertilizer sector, to create a “hydrogen-based industrial cluster” in Ånge municipality.
This project, to be located in Grönsta, just north of Torpshammar, will involve combining wind power with large-scale green hydrogen production to deliver carbon-negative neutral products.
OX2 is spearheading the development of a wind farm in Marktjärn, Torpshammar, which will produce 1.4 terawatt-hours of green electricity annually.
This renewable energy will fuel a hydrogen production facility planned by Lhyfe in Torpshammar. The facility aims to generate up to 100 tonnes of green hydrogen daily, supported by an electrolysis capacity of around 300 megawatts (MW).
Lhyfe's operations will focus on generating green hydrogen through water electrolysis, utilizing power from renewable sources.

Sara Wihlborg, Country Manager Sweden at Lhyfe, said, “Due to the large potential production capacity, we are in dialogue with several companies that aim to refine hydrogen and its by-products. These collaborations will help build a local ecosystem that contributes to the region’s economy and job creation.”
Velarion is set to construct one of the globe’s inaugural carbon-neutral fertilizer plants within the cluster as part of this venture.
This cutting-edge facility will harness green hydrogen to manufacture green ammonia, markedly decreasing carbon emissions associated with fertilizer production.
The green ammonia produced will meet the growing demand for sustainable agricultural products.
The project is now entering into its conceptual phase. Its advancement will depend on the outcomes of this study, the approval of operating licenses and environmental permits, and financial investment decisions.
