Vattenfall and Preem look into large-scale production of fossil-free hydrogen
The collaboration between Vattenfall and Swedish fuel company Preem, aimed at producing fossil-free hydrogen for biofuel production, is entering the next phase. A study is now being conducted to examine opportunities for building a large-scale production facility at the refinery in Lysekil in Sweden.Preem’s target of producing 5 million cubic metres of biofuel by 2030 may result in a reduction of transport emissions of up to 12.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, equivalent to about 20 per cent of Sweden's total emissions. This shift in production will require a sizable supply of hydrogen.
