OKQ8 and Econ officially opened its first H₂ refueling stations in Gothenburg. The station was supplied by Resato Hydrogen Technology, with project development led by Econ, and will be part of OKQ8’s new national network of H₂ stations which is being developed in partnership with Skellefteå Kraft, a municipally owned energy company in Sweden. This facility contributes to the rollout of a reliable and future-proof H₂ network in Europe.

The construction of this station was made possible thanks to funding from Klimatklivet and the European Union.

During the opening ceremony, Karin Eriksson, CEO of OKQ8, and Morgan Larsson, CEO of Econ, emphasized the importance of investing in H₂ as part of the energy transition. Former Minister of Energy and Business, Ibrahim Baylan, was present to officially inaugurate the station. In his speech, Rob Castien, CEO of Resato, underlined the essential role of H₂ in achieving a climate-neutral future and outlined the expected developments in the H₂ market.

The new H₂ refueling station in Gothenburg enables refueling at both 350 bar and 700 bar, making it suitable for heavy-duty transport as well as passenger vehicles. This responds to the growing demand for cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels and supports national targets for a climate-neutral transport network.

“With the opening of this station, we are jointly taking an important step towards clean and sustainable mobility in Sweden. It shows how cooperation between technology, project development, and operations can lead to true progress. Our Swedish partner Euromekanik has been a constant source of support, standing side-by-side with us throughout the entire journey. We are proud to take this step forward together,” said Rob Castien, CEO of Resato Hydrogen Technology.

Representatives of the involved companies, press, and local stakeholders attended the opening in Gothenburg to celebrate this milestone in Sweden’s transition to H₂ mobility.
