The partnership is investigating a 50-megawatt (MW) plant to produce fossil-free hydrogen, following a study conducted in the spring that concluded with the Preem Lysekil plant in Sweden being deemed suitable for an electrolysis plant for hydrogen biofuel production.
An initial strategic analysis was conducted in January 2021 that sought to assess the role that fossil-free hydrogen generated via electrolysis can play in Preem’s ability to mass-produce biofuels.
With results looking promising, investigations into a potential 50MW electrolysis plant at Preem’s Lysekil refinery and the next step is due to be taken in the spring of 2022.
Preem, Sweden’s largest fuel company, intend to lead the transition toward a sustainable society. To achieve this, it intends to produce approximately five million cubic metres of biofuels by 2030, potentially reducing transport emissions by up to 12.5 million tonnes, corresponding to around 20% of Sweden’s total emissions.
