Helen chose Sweco as EPCM partner for implementing Helsinki’s first green hydrogen production plant<\/h1>\n

Published on 3rd July .2024<\/p>\n

The energy company Helen has made the investment decision to implement a hydrogen production plant in Vuosaari. This project is Helen\u2019s first hydrogen project and simultaneously the first hydrogen production plant to be built in Helsinki. Sweco will comprehensively manage the implementation phases of the production plant as the EPCM partner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pilot plant, named 3H2 Helsinki Hydrogen Hub, will have a capacity of about three megawatts, with the goal of starting production in 2026. The primary use of the produced hydrogen will be for heavy transportation. The waste heat from hydrogen production will be utilized in Helen\u2019s district heating network, increasing the plant\u2019s energy efficiency. <\/span>
\nAs the EPCM partner, Sweco is responsible for the design related to the project’s area infrastructure, including architecture, structural engineering, and plant design, as well as project management, procurement, and site management services. The electrolyzer intended for hydrogen production and related equipment will be designed, supplied, and installed by a different partner.
\n<\/span>
\nSweco has also served as Helen’s EPCM partner in the Eiranranta and Salmisaari heat pump plant projects.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe 3H2 project is the first of its kind in the world, combining four different sectors: electricity, transportation, heating, and hydrogen, as well as flexibility between them. For Helen, hydrogen is an essential part of our new strategy, and we are committed to investing in the development of the hydrogen business. It is wonderful to continue the well-functioning cooperation with Sweco by building Helsinki\u2019s first green hydrogen production plant together,\u201d says Helen’s Director responsible for new businesses and hydrogen <\/span>Sari Mannonen<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>We are very pleased that our expertise is trusted in hydrogen matters thanks to previous common EPCM projects, and we can continue the well-functioning cooperation with Helen. Our joint refined operating methods and Sweco’s experience from previous hydrogen projects also contribute to the implementation of the 3H2 project. It is wonderful to continue together towards achieving Helen’s carbon neutrality goals<\/span>\u201c, Sweco\u2019s\u00a0 Director, Industry and Energy sector, <\/span>Tuomas Salminen<\/span><\/b> rejoices.<\/span><\/p>\n
