Renewable Energy Systems (RES) is strengthening its presence in the hydrogen sector with the acquisition of an industrial site in Ljungaverk. Located in Sweden, the site will host a new renewable hydrogen plant. The group is also planning new projects in the Ljungaverk region.
A new hydrogen plant
RES announces the acquisition of a 24-hectare industrial estate in Ljungaverk, northern Sweden. The group will use this site to develop a new plant that will produce renewable hydrogen for local industry. However, the project has to go through a few stages, as Sigrid Nord, project manager at RES, explains:
“We are currently conducting investigations into safety, risk management and water availability.”
Long known for its chemical industry, the area will begin a transformation to serve the region. Indeed, the plant will provide sustainable local growth and employment opportunities. In addition, for RES, this is the second hydrogen project in the region.
A region with great potential
Already established in the region, RES wishes to continue its development as Sigrid Nord points out:
“It is an honor to have the opportunity to be part of the future development of Ljungaverk. It is a historic industrial site, which creates good conditions for new projects. There is close access to grid connection via Tovåsen and renewable energy production. It is symbolic that we can continue the region’s innovative history into modern times.”
Together with Ellevio, the company is expanding the Tovåsen grid substation. This is located in the heart of the renewable energy cluster developed in Ånge.
RES is also behind the development of the Alby hydrogen plant and the Gubbaberget and Björnberget wind farms. More broadly, the Nordic countries seem to be taking a lead in energy transition. Tovåsen enables the expansion of solar and wind energy, allowing the development of renewable hydrogen.
