Energy and Hydrogen

Meeting industry demands for both sustainable grid-connected electrical energy and access to sustainably produced hydrogen is likely to remain challenging in the coming years

Strategies such as system optimizations, flexible production, storage and other alternatives are needed. The overall goal of the area is to identify and support the implementation of such strategies, for example by;

Facilitate dialogues between network operators and industry players.
Assess and build consortia around technology development, shared infrastructure, or value chains to deliver, store, and redistribute electricity and hydrogen.
Assessments of regional demand over time for electricity and hydrogen.

Projects in Energy and Hydrogen

West Coast Hydrogen Valley - resubmission

Klimatledande Processindustri financed the work on an application to Horizon Europe for a Large Scale Hydrogen Valley. The application was approved, but ended up on the reserve list for funding. As...

Methane pyrolysis for carbon black and hydrogen production

Methane pyrolysis has recently emerged as an attractive enabler for climate-neutral hydrogen production as the process does not result in any CO2 emissions. The aim of this feasibility study project...

Hydrogen supply to the West Coast

The project aims to analyze and compare the costs of various concepts that enable the supply of blue/green hydrogen to western Swedish industries, both in the short term and as interim solutions while...

West Coast Hydrogen Valley

This project aims, in collaboration with an already established and relevant consortium, to design a competitive project application that meets the purpose and assessment criteria outlined in the call...

Preliminary study on possible pilot plant for high-temperature electrolysis (SOEC) in Stenungsund

To transition the chemical industries in Stenungsund to climate neutrality, large amounts of fossil-free hydrogen will be needed. In the event that all hydrogen is to be produced via electrolysis...

Flexible and robust hydrogen production and storage in Lysekil

The project aims to evaluate future scenarios for hydrogen supply to Preem's refinery in Lysekil and present opportunities for Preem's future refinery with a higher degree of electrification. In the...

Water and energy efficient process industry

There is currently insufficient access to fresh water in Stenungsund to meet the needs of both the municipality and the companies. This has led to the municipality being forced to severely limit new...

Hydrogen on the West Coast

The project aims to gather knowledge and map the future need for climate-neutral hydrogen on the west coast, within western Swedish industry and within the power and heating sector. Next, which...

Environmental analysis: Opportunities and obstacles for the electrification of industrial processes in the process industries of the West Swedish Chemical and Materials Cluster

Industrial electrification, also called Power-to-X, is identified as a priority development area within the Climate-Leading Process Technology effort area with the goal of establishing a new power...
