OKG to supply hydrogen from Oskarshamn nuclear power plant to Linde

The first contract for the supply of hydrogen produced at the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant was signed by the Swedish energy company OKG AB.

Linde Gas AB is the client. The first shipment is expected to arrive in the first quarter of this year.

Electrolysis is used to produce hydrogen at the Oskarshamn NPP; production began in 1992 for the plant’s own needs.

The hydrogen production capabilities at the plant are not being used to their full potential because units No. 1/2 were finally shut down in 2016-2017. To change the situation, commercial contracts for the supply of hydrogen to third-party companies are required.
