Lhyfe, OX2 and Velarion are joining forces to create an industrial cluster in Ånge, focusing on the production of green hydrogen.
The project is based on OX2′s Marktjärn wind farm, with an annual capacity of 1.4 TWh.
The electricity generated by this wind farm feeds a hydrogen production facility, managed by Lhyfe, capable of producing 100 tonnes of hydrogen per day through water electrolysis.
This cluster aims to integrate industrial processes using green hydrogen to produce industrial goods, such as ammonia, while minimizing CO2 emissions.
Velarion’s ammonia production will be based on this hydrogen, responding to growing demand for sustainable industrial products.
Expected economic and industrial impact
This project should strengthen the local economy by creating new jobs and attracting companies wishing to take advantage of this green ecosystem.
Velarion’s green ammonia plant is a concrete example of this dynamic.
This plant is part of a wider industrial transformation, with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint of production processes.
The project partners aim to position Ånge as a nerve center for green industry in Europe.
By integrating renewable energy production and hydrogen, this cluster represents a major evolution for Swedish industry, and more broadly, for the European energy sector.
Development prospects and challenges
The project, though promising, is still subject to crucial regulatory and financial stages.
Obtaining environmental permits and operating licenses, as well as an investment decision, are essential to the cluster’s success.
The players involved are committed to this project with a clear vision: to make Ånge a leader in sustainable industrialization.
This project is part of a global context of energy transition, in which green hydrogen plays a key role in decarbonizing heavy industries.
The ambition is to create a replicable model, capable of responding to current energy challenges in Europe and strengthening the competitiveness of companies on the international market.
