Installation of the hydrogen production unit begins in Jyväskylä. The unit will be located at Finland’s first operational hydrogen refuelling station. The installation is related to Central Finland Mobility Foundation’s (Cefmof) previously announced order of a hydrogen production unit and water purification system from Asahi Kasei Corporation (Asahi Kasei), and the order is now progressing into the concrete implementation phase.

Commissioning of the equipment, in cooperation with project partners, is managed by Cefmof Hydrogen Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Central Finland Mobility Foundation. The company is also responsible for operating the hydrogen refuelling station.

The hydrogen production unit is a 1-megawatt-scale containerised alkaline water electrolysis system. The equipment supplied by electrolyzer technology specialist Asahi Kasei has been delivered to the Jyväskylä hydrogen refuelling station, and industrial installation of the hydrogen production system has commenced. Installation and system integration will proceed in phases throughout the spring and early summer.
