Lhyfe Wins €11M Grant for Second 10 MW Site in Sweden
Lhyfe has announced 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 hydrogen 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 hydrogen-powered vehicles, significant volumes of renewable hydrogen will be required. The production facility in Vaggeryd would supply the many refueling stations currently under construction in the area, forming a network of hydrogen supply along major transport routes.
In addition to the transportation sector, the hydrogen 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 hydrogen 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 hydrogen 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 hydrogen 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.
