Together with Lhyfe and Skyborn, ABB will drive large-scale integration of production of offshore wind renewable hydrogen into the energy system in the SoutH2Port project\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/p>\n
ABB is collaborating with Lhyfe, a world pioneer in the production of renewable hydrogen, and Skyborn, a global leader in renewable energy, to jointly realize and optimize one of Europe\u2019s most ambitious renewable hydrogen projects ever, SoutH2Port.<\/p>\n
The new hydrogen production plant, operated by Lhyfe and Skyborn, will be located in the municipality of S\u00f6derhamn, Sweden, and connected to Skyborn\u2019s 1 GW offshore wind farm in nearby Storgrundet. When fully operational, it is expected to produce about 240 tons of hydrogen per day, with an installed capacity of 600 MW, making it one of the largest suppliers of renewable hydrogen in Europe.<\/p>\n
“This collaboration is a key part of our strategy in both the hydrogen and offshore wind markets,” said Brandon Spencer, President of ABB Energy Industries. “Creating a seamless supply chain, through partnerships such as these, is essential to accelerate the energy transition. Hydrogen plays a crucial role in helping achieve the world\u2019s climate goals when it comes to decarbonizing the industrial and transportation sectors.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As part of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the companies, ABB will apply critical expertise to optimize the integration of the hydrogen and electricity production across the entire ecosystem including automation, electrical and digital technologies and drive the development of scalable, commercial energy transition projects in and around the region. The aim is to explore opportunities to tie-in Power-to-X conversion technologies turning renewably sourced electricity into carbon-neutral energy carriers, such as hydrogen, and storing the energy for later use.<\/p>\n
“We are delighted to have such a global technology leader as ABB, who shares our conviction in the Power-to-X potential of the SoutH2Port project, join our collaboration with Lhyfe. I look forward to taking this project to the next level with the help of ABB and their unrivalled expertise within this field,” said Achim Berge Olsen, Chairman of Skyborn Renewables Sweden.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
“By combining our expertise and solutions, we can cost-effectively and safely expand the value creation attached to the scale up of renewable hydrogen production,” said Taia Kronborg, co-founder and Chief Business Officer at Lhyfe. “Skyborn\u2019s track record in offshore wind power, Lhyfe\u2019s expertise in renewable hydrogen production coupled with ABB\u2019s technological expertise creates new opportunities for enabling Power-to-X solutions linked with renewable hydrogen production at scale.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The new plant will support the decarbonization of the Swedish energy system, either directly with hydrogen supply or by further downstream production of refined fuels such as methanol, sustainable aviation fuel or ammonia \u2013 contributing to the government\u2019s plans to become the world\u2019s first fossil-free welfare country by 2045. SoutH2port will also further contribute to boosting the attractiveness and competitiveness of the region and local society through the creation of new jobs and business opportunities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

More information on SoutH2Port project by Skyborn:<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/www.skybornrenewables.se\/south2port<\/a>\u00a0+ Together with\u00a0Lhyfe<\/a>, Skyborn Renewables plans to build one of Europe\u2019s largest hydrogen plants. We call the project SoutH2Port.<\/p>\n
Vallvik outside of S\u00f6derhamn offers unique conditions for the production and further conversion of renewable hydrogen through its proximity to the port, railway, road and electricity grid.<\/p>\n
The hydrogen plant is expected to produce approximately 240 tons of hydrogen per day or 88,000 tons annually. The hydrogen can later be further refined into various types of electrofuels to reduce the climate footprint of aviation, shipping or agriculture. By making use of the residual products oxygen and heat, we also create value for the local community.<\/p>\n
The plant is planned to be built in stages and can be in full operation as the Storgrundet wind farm is built. The total investment is expected to be 50 billion SEK.<\/p>\n
Status: We are currently doing technical site assessments such as grid connection and water supply options, among other things. Soon, we will start a consultation process before conducting the permit application for the project.<\/p>\n
