With the inauguration of a new hydrogen production facility and a public hydrogen refueling station in Ljungby, Strandmöllen and PS Energi are taking a joint step towards the future of fossil-free transport.
The facility is unique in Sweden. The hydrogen is produced locally through electrolysis, based on electricity from Strandmöllen’s own solar cell facility and through an agreement with a solar cell park that is being built nearby during the autumn. The hydrogen goes directly to PS Energi’s adjacent filling station, creating a complete chain from production to refueling.
As part of the initiative, Strandmöllen has also built an advanced filling facility for bottles, batteries and trailers, making it possible to supply customers with hydrogen regardless of the size and location of the need. The inauguration was attended by, among others, the county governor, who cut the ribbon and highlighted the importance of the initiative for both Ljungby municipality and Sweden’s climate transition.

Bertil Rydqvist, hydrogen project manager at PS Energi:
“Hydrogen is one of the keys to a fossil-free society. With our new station, we enable a climate-smart fuel for both heavy transport and passenger cars, and contribute to making it easier for Sweden to reach its climate goals.”
Finn Kofoed-Dam, CEO of Strandmöllen:
“By combining local production with a modern filling station, we create the conditions for more people to choose an emission-free path forward. We are proud to contribute to developing the infrastructure for hydrogen in Sweden together with PS Energi,”
Hydrogen as a fuel offers several advantages:
Long range for trucks and other vehicles on longer distances
Quick refueling in just a few minutes
High payload compared to battery solutions
The new hydrogen facility in Ljungby is open to both commercial operators and private individuals and constitutes an important part of the development of the infrastructure for fossil-free fuels in Sweden. The project has been implemented, with support for both Strandmöllen and PS Energi, from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s Klimatklivet initiative, which finances investments that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
