Lhyfe secures c.11m grant for a second 10 MW production site in Sweden
-
This is the second grant Lhyfe has secured in Sweden from Klimatklivet for its projects
-
The facility will have a capacity of 10 MW and would be able to produce up to 4.4 tons of renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø per day for mobility and industrial customers
-
Lhyfe is one of the pioneers in renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production in Europe, with four plants installed and several others under construction
Nantes (France), Stockholm (Sweden), 31 January 2025, 7:30 a.m. - Lhyfe (EURONEXT: LHYFE), one of the world's pioneers in green and renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, announces funding of up to c.€11 million (SEK 130 million) from Klimatklivet, an investment program supported by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and co-financed by the European Union, to build a renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production facility in Vaggeryd, Jönköping County, in southern Sweden.
Vaggeryd is strategically located between Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö, near major transport hubs such as the E4 motorway and national road 40, as well as nearby logistics centres. As the transport sector transitions to lower climate footprint, including the adoption of Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø-powered vehicles, significant volumes of renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø will be required. The production facility in Vaggeryd would supply the many refueling stations currently under construction in the area, forming a network of Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø supply along major transport routes.
In addition to the transportation sector, the Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø would also be supplied to industries for heating and production processes.
With the plant, Lhyfe would be able to produce up to 4.4 tons of green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø per day (based on 10 MW of installed electrolyzer capacity) to meet this market demand and contribute to the goal of achieving net-zero emissions. The first kilograms of renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø are expected to be produced in 2027. Combined with the previous grant Lhyfe obtained from Klimatklivet in June 2024 for an equally large plant in Trelleborg, these two units would create a robust supply network for renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø in southern and central Sweden.
The investment support, which will fund the development and design phases, equipment procurement and construction work, represents approximately 35% of the total estimated investment cost for the project.
Lhyfe is one of the world's pioneers in producing green and renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø through water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity. The first plant in Bouin, Pays de la Loire, France, has been operational since the second half of 2021, and additional plants have since been installed in France and Germany. Further facilities are currently under construction or expansion across Europe. By mid 2024, Lhyfe had 200 employees fully dedicated to renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production, with projects in 12 countries and a project pipeline of approximately 10 GW across Europe.
“We are delighted to have been awarded this investment support, which marks our second project in Sweden to receive backing from Klimatklivet. Green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø is a key enabler in the transition, strengthening the competitiveness of Swedish industry while increasing domestic energy security with locally produced energy. Additionally, the waste heat generated during the production process will be utilized in the existing district heating network in Vaggeryd. Lhyfe already delivers green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø to industrial customers in Sweden, and with the two facilities now granted Klimatklivet support, Lhyfe ensures a robust and competitive supply solution for green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø for our customers in Sweden moving forward,” says Sara Wihlborg, Country Manager Sweden at Lhyfe.
The implementation of the project is subject to the granting of foreign investment authorisation, operational and environmental permits, building permits, and a financial investment decision.
