French-based Lhyfe plans to build a 10MW green hydrogen plant in southern Sweden, having secured €11m ($11.4m) in funding from the country’s Environmental Protection Agency.
The plant in Vaggeryd, Jönköping County, will have the capacity to produce up to 4.4 tonnes of green hydrogen per day and will supply local refuelling stations in the region that are currently under construction, as well as industrial heating and production processes.
Lhyfe expects to generate the site’s first kilogrammes of hydrogen in 2027, subject to the granting of foreign investment, permitting and a final investment decision (FID).
The funding from Klimatklivet, Sweden’s climate investment programme, will finance the project’s development and design phases, equipment costs and construction work. It represents around 35% of the project’s €31.5m ($32.7m) investment.
Vaggeryd will be Lhyfe’s second Swedish plant after it secured €11m from the Environmental Protection Agency last June to develop a 10MW site in Trelleborg.

“Lhyfe already delivers green hydrogen to industrial customers in Sweden, and with the two facilities now granted Klimatklivet support, Lhyfe ensures a robust and competitive supply solution for green hydrogen for our customers in Sweden,” said Sara Wihlborg, Country Manager Sweden at Lhyfe.
