Hynion set to build the hydrogen stations of the future in Sweden
The company received permits from the local authorities to construct two robust high-capacity forecourts located in the cities of Västerås and Jönkøping.
Hynion has confirmed it received authorization and support from the Energy Authorities of Sweden to build two robust high-capacity hydrogen stations. The government will invest an approximate amount of 6 million dollars to support the company in this initiative.
Both sites will be located in the cities of Västerås and Jönkøping, each with a capacity of 1500 kg per day and be built to facilitate refuelling of fleet trucks and independent drivers. Currently, the company has set various points for refuelling throughout the country, with these two new locations set to be the first fully equipped stations to serve customers.
“This is an important step forward for hydrogen for the transport sector. We now see clear action from the Swedish authorities that they are serious about introducing hydrogen for heavy transport, which makes us very optimistic about the development. These two stations are located in central logistics hubs which mean a lot to the transport companies that now will convert to zero emissions. Cars will of course also be welcomed” said Slavica Djuric, CEO of Hynion Sweden.
Hynion has become Sweden's largest supplier of zero-emission hydrogen fuel in recent times. The firm operates a total network of eight refuelling points throughout Norway and Sweden, offering drivers the chance to favour the decarbonization of the sector. Its ambition involves opening more than 100 hydrogen hubs across the continent by 2030.
“Together with our stations in Sandviken, Stockholm and Gothenburg, we are forming a network that will allow the roll-out of hydrogen to accelerate. Now, it will soon be possible to travel between large and important cities in Sweden on hydrogen, and we look forward to welcoming the trucks to our stations. It is also exciting to see that Sweden takes a leading role in paving the way for the use of hydrogen for heavy transport”, added Ulf Hafseld, CEO of Hynion AS.
