Permascand Top Holding AB (publ) (“Permascand”), an independent technology-driven manufacturer of electrochemical solutions, today announces that the company has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with RES – an independent developer of renewable energy and energy storage – for the co-development of a commercial research center in the green hydrogen plant RES are developing in Alby, Ånge Municipality, Sweden.
The purpose of the LOI is to continue the negotiations for the establishment and investment in a commercial research center for testing and evaluation of Permascands products in a production plant which enables significant and important results for the project.
Peter Lundström, CEO at Permascand comments: ”It is a very positive and interesting start that we jointly can contribute to a development project of this kind. It is in line with Permascand’s growth plan and the construction of a full-scale technology centre to develop new technology for green hydrogen on the market, which is part of our quest for increased sustainability globally. The fact that the project also has a local connection makes it even more interesting”.
RES drives the development and establishment of a green hydrogen plant in Alby in the area designated by Ånge Municipality for establishment of power-intense industry. The goal is to be able to provide green hydrogen to the industry in a first stage, by the turn of 2024/2025. With a new grid connection, the facility will be gradually expanded on a larger scale by the turn of 2026/2027.
Matilda Afzelius, CEO at RES, comments: “This project is extremely important. We are at the forefront here and are contributing to a rapid transition to renewable energy. With this collaboration, we have the opportunity to do both local and global benefits. A sustainable future will benefit from more cross-border and innovative developments and collaborations like this”.
