Vireon Hydrogen has received a €3.8 million grant from Business Finland to develop a 5 MW electrolyser facility at the Jyväskylä Hydrogen Hub in Finland.
Phase one of the project focuses on constructing a hydrogen refueling station for heavy-duty transport, partly funded by a previous EU grant, and is expected to be operational by 2025.
Phase two, supported by the new grant, will expand the hub with a 5 MW electrolyser capable of producing 700 tons of green hydrogen annually.
Vireon, a subsidiary of Norwegian Hydrogen AS, develops hydrogen refueling stations for heavy-duty trucks across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, promoting sustainable transport solutions in the Nordic region.
