Green hydrogen producer Lhyfe, onshore wind developer OX2, and innovative green fertilizer firm Velarion are joining forces to create one of Europe’s largest green hydrogen-based industrial clusters. The proposed cluster, tapping on wind power to produce green hydrogen and then using it to make carbon-neutral fertilizer, would be located in Sweden’s Ånge municipality.

OX2 is developing a wind farm with a planned annual production capacity of 1.4 TWh. The green electricity would power a 300 MW electrolyzer that Lhyfe plans to build, with a capacity of up to 100 tons of green hydrogen per day.

Velarion, a key partner in the initiative, would build one of the world’s first carbon-neutral fertilizer plants within this cluster. According to the project, the state-of-the-art facility would utilize green hydrogen to produce green ammonia, significantly reducing carbon emissions in fertilizer production.

“We are excited about the potential of this project, which will utilize electricity from wind farm Marktjärn to power a green industrial cluster, enabling sustainable local industry and enhancing the attractiveness for further industrial establishments in Ånge,” said Anders Nilsson, head of onshore wind at OX2.

The project is now entering the conceptual phase, while its implementation will be subject to the conclusions of a feasibility study, permitting, and financial investment decisions, according to a joint press release from Lhyfe and OX2.

Lhyfe built the world’s first large-scale wind-powered green hydrogen plant

Lhyfe, a company from Nantes, France, is a European producer and supplier of green and renewable hydrogen. In 2021, it inaugurated the world’s first industrial-scale green hydrogen production plant interconnected with a wind farm.

OX2, headquartered in Stockholm, develops, constructs, and manages large-scale renewable energy projects, including wind, solar, and energy storage. It operates in 11 European markets as well as Australia.

Velarion Group focuses on producing green urea and green ammonia, crucial for achieving a carbon-neutral future. It creates eco-friendly alternatives to traditional fertilizers, reducing agriculture’s carbon footprint, according to the press release.
