ABB is collaborating with Lhyfe and Skyborn to jointly realise the renewable hydrogen project SoutH2Port. The new hydrogen production plant, operated by Lhyfe and Skyborn, will be located in the municipality of Söderhamn, Sweden, and connected to Skyborn’s 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. ABB will apply expertise to optimise 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.
