Vireon Hydrogen Oy has been awarded a grant of €3.8 million from Business Finland to build a 5MW electrolyzer facility in Jyväskylä, Finland.
Vireon is already in the process of establishing the Jyväskylä Hydrogen Hub. Phase one involves building a hydrogen refueling station for heavy-duty transport, partly funded by a prior EU grant to the company.
The first users are already confirmed, including five hydrogen-powered buses set to enter regular bus traffic in Jyväskylä. The station is scheduled to be operational by 2025.
Phase two will expand the hub with local hydrogen production, supported by the new grant. The electrolyzer will be built on the same site as the refueling station, with groundwork starting immediately to accelerate implementation.
With a 5MW electrolyzer, Vireon will be able to produce approximately 700 tons of green hydrogen annually.
