The project, led by OX2, marks the first commercial installation of Stargate’s ceramic-based 10MW Aurora electrolyser and forms part of a wider non-binding agreement to develop large-scale green hydrogen projects across the Nordics.

“Partnering with Stargate Hydrogen allows us to connect world-class electrolyser technology with our large-scale renewable energy portfolio,” Anders Wiklund said, the Regional Manager at OX2 Ålund.

By the end of 2024, the Swedish energy firm’s portfolio represented over 25GW under development across nine markets.

Under the cooperation agreement, the two companies will also work within ABB’s €150m H2 Springboard programme, contributing technology and expertise to attract public R&D funding and develop modular, export-ready hydrogen solutions.

Nevertheless, the overall agreement stops short of an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) commitment, with no confirmed timeline, offtake, or financing.

The Åland project follows Stargate’s recent launch of the 10MW Aurora electrolyser, which the Estonian manufacturer said offers a “record-low” footprint for an alkaline system.

Stargate’s CEO, Marko Virkebau, stated the new modules address “two main barriers for industrial hydrogen adoption: cost of hydrogen and space constraints at industrial sites.”
