Sweco to Construct First Green Hydrogen Production Plant in Helsinki

Sweco to Construct First Green Hydrogen Production Plant in Helsinki

Finnish energy company Helen has announced the selection of Sweco as its Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) partner for its inaugural green hydrogen production plant.

Set to commence production in 2026, this plant aims to supply hydrogen primarily for the heavy-duty transport sector. The excess heat generated during hydrogen production will be utilized in Helen’s district heating network, potentially boosting the plant’s energy efficiency to over 90%.

Helen, one of Finland’s largest energy operators, has a longstanding partnership with Sweco, having previously collaborated on various heating and cooling plant projects. The new 3H2 Helsinki Hydrogen Hub will serve as Helen’s pilot hydrogen plant, with an initial capacity of approximately three megawatts. This project represents a crucial element of Helen’s strategy to achieve carbon neutrality and expand its footprint in the green energy sector.

Sweco’s role as the EPCM partner involves planning the project’s regional infrastructure, including architectural, structural engineering, and plant design, as well as project management, procurement, and site management services. The electrolyser and related equipment will be provided by a different partner, ensuring a collaborative approach to this complex project.

A standout feature of the 3H2 project is its impressive energy efficiency. By utilizing excess heat from hydrogen production in the district heating network, Helen aims to achieve an efficiency rate exceeding 90%. This integration of hydrogen production with district heating exemplifies a multifaceted approach to energy use, combining electricity, transport, heating, and hydrogen sectors.

The 3H2 Helsinki Hydrogen Hub is a significant step for Finland in the context of the global hydrogen economy. While Helen’s project is pioneering within Finland, it is crucial to compare this initiative with international benchmarks. Countries like Germany, Japan, and Australia have already made substantial investments in hydrogen infrastructure, with some projects boasting capacities far exceeding Helen’s three megawatts. For Helen’s project to be competitive, it must demonstrate scalability and cost-effectiveness.
