Strängnäs municipality is investigating the possibilities of renewable hydrogen
Strängnäs municipality invests in mapping the possibilities of green hydrogen. With a preliminary study financed by Klimatfond Strängnäs, the municipality is now starting work on developing an action plan to realize the opportunities that green hydrogen can offer.
Through collaboration with Solör Bioenergi and Strängnäs municipal company, the two companies invest a total of SEK 60 million to implement joint projects and also encourage other local businesses to contribute together to a faster energy and climate transition in Strängnäs municipality, where the goal is to be a fossil-free municipality 2030.
Within the framework of the collaboration, the two companies invest a total of SEK 60 million to implement joint projects and also encourage other local businesses to jointly contribute to a faster energy and climate transition in Strängnäs municipality, where the goal is to be a fossil-free municipality by 2030.
– The preliminary study shall identify and illustrate the possibilities for the production and use of hydrogen gas with a low climate footprint within the energy sector, transport, the real estate sector and industry within Strängnäs municipality. The mission also includes developing an action plan with recommendations for how the municipality could handle the possibilities with hydrogen, says Ragnar Lindén, sustainability developer within the municipality and the one who leads the work on the feasibility study.
By exploring areas of use for green hydrogen, from reserve power plants to industrial processes, the feasibility study is expected not only to provide recommendations for how hydrogen can be integrated into the municipality’s development strategy, but also to identify concrete projects and sub-goals to achieve the climate goals.
