Nilsson Energy begins construction of a new hydrogen filling station along the E20, at the exit to Nykvarn. The hydrogen filling station is expected to be commissioned in the summer of 2024 and will solely offering green hydrogen.
Nykvarn, an attractive growth municipality east of Södertälje and a key hub for heavy transport, now has the opportunity to mitigate the environmental impact through this infrastructure investment.
Roger Göthberg, CEO Nilsson Energy, expresses joy about the collaboration with Nykvarn municipality: “Our collaboration with the municipality of Nykvarn has been seamless. We are delighted to be part of the municipality’s progressive development and to contribute infrastructure for refueling hydrogen-powered vehicles.”
”Nilsson Energy is taking the leadership role in the green energy revolution, and it is inspiring to see how they realize the vision of a sustainable future, not only for the company but for society. I look forward to following the development of this hydrogen filling station and how it will contribute to shaping our society’s sustainable future”, says Anders Önbäck, chairman of the municipal board in Nykvarn municipality.
In addition to Nykvarn, Nilsson Energy also establishes a hydrogen filling station at Port 6 in the Port of Gothenburg, one of Sweden’s most truck-intensive locations, and was the company that established Sweden’s first public hydrogen filling station in Mariestad in 2018.
Malin Ehrle, Head of Projects at Nilsson Energy, has been involved in the project since the beginning of 2022 and is the main responsible project manager for the establishment of both hydrogen filling stations.
She states, ‘It feels good that we now are getting started with the groundwork in Nykvarn, which is expected to be ready at the beginning of June. When the groundwork is complete, installation and commissioning of all equipment begins. If everything goes as planned, the first customer will be able to fill up with hydrogen later this summer,’ concludes Malin Ehrle.”
