Construction of a hydrogen gas station in Nykvarn is now starting
Now the first sod has been laid for a new hydrogen filling station near the E20 exit to Nykvarn. The company Nilsson Energy is behind the investment. The filling station is expected to be ready by the summer of 2024 and will only offer hydrogen produced through solar, wind or hydropower. With its strategic location just east of Södertälje, Nykvarn is an important hub for heavy transport.
Nilsson Energy helps companies with the production, storage and use of renewable hydrogen. Roger Göthberg, CEO of Nilsson Energy, expresses his joy about the collaboration with Nykvarn Municipality: “Our collaboration with Nykvarn Municipality has worked perfectly. We are happy to be part of the municipality’s active development and to be able to contribute with infrastructure to enable refueling of hydrogen-powered vehicles.”
– Investing in hydrogen is not only a wise business strategy, it is also an important step towards a sustainable future. Hydrogen is a versatile fuel that has a wide range of uses, and I am convinced that it will play a decisive role in our future fossil-free transport system, says Anders Önbäck, chairman of the municipal board in a press release.
