HiWHyV - High Coast to West Coast Hydrogen Valley

Country
Sweden

HiWhyV aims to establish Sweden’s first large-scale hydrogen valley by connecting two complementary regional hubs: the West Coast, with major industrial hydrogen demand, and the High Coast, one of Europe’s most attractive regions for renewable hydrogen production. HiWhyV could produce up to 123,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually. Planned applications include e-fuels, green fertilisers, and hydrogen-powered transport. Residual oxygen and waste heat will be valorised.
