The Åland project aims to support the decarbonisation of local industry, transport, and shipping along the green corridors concept.
“This agreement marks a major step forward in our mission to deliver industrial-scale green hydrogen solutions to Europe,” said Marko Virkebau, CEO of Stargate Hydrogen. “The Åland project will demonstrate both the scalability and cost competitiveness of our new system and also position Åland as a hub of the Nordic hydrogen economy.”
The collaboration also marks the commercial launch of Stargate Hydrogen’s industrial-scale electrolyser platform, strengthening its position in Northern Europe.
In parallel, the companies will contribute to the ABB-led H₂ Springboard programme, a national-scale hydrogen innovation initiative backed by more than €150 million in R&D investment. Together, they aim to co-develop modular hydrogen solutions with high export potential, accelerate technology validation, and leverage innovation networks to shorten time-to-market.
“At OX2, we see renewable hydrogen as a key enabler of the energy transition,” said Anders Wiklund, Regional Manager, OX2 Åland. “Partnering with Stargate Hydrogen allows us to connect world-class electrolyser technology with our large-scale renewable energy portfolio. Together, we can accelerate the development of a sustainable hydrogen ecosystem in the Nordics and beyond.”
