About the Ljusterö project

On Ljusterö in the Stockholm archipelago, SHG Green Invest takes the first step towards a fossil-free Sweden. The Archipelago Hydrogen Factory is a pioneering project that shows how local wind power can be converted into clean, green hydrogen – directly where it's needed.

The hydrogen factory on Ljusterö is powered by a local wind farm and produces fossil-free hydrogen that customers collect directly on-site to fuel vehicles at a filling station. The project is partially financed by Klimatklivet and Region Stockholm via the Foundation for Sustainable Communities.

In 2021, SHG initiated the creation of the Archipelago Hydrogen Factory together with Strömberg Energi AB on Ljusterö in Österåker Municipality. Region Stockholm and the Foundation for Sustainable Communities contributed to the feasibility study, which led to the project start in 2023 when Klimatklivet provided a larger grant to Strömberg Energi. SHG's role was to lead the project up to the actual construction of the factory.
