Metacon AB (publ) and Siemens AB have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enter into a partnership with the aim of accelerating the manufacturing of hydrogen production systems in Sweden, for the European market.

The joint MoU means that Siemens will become a technology partner to Metacon to contribute with its solid experience in delivering products, solutions and services in automation, power distribution, electrification, instrumentation, building technology and drives. Siemens will also be able to contribute with its wide range of digital services and software for optimisation, standardisation and simulation during both the manufacturing and operational phases of hydrogen plants.

“Hydrogen is an important piece of the puzzle in the industrial, energy and transport sectors to become CO2 neutral, and is the focus of Siemens’ global investment in Power-to-X. The partnership with Metacon marks a milestone in our quest to create a more sustainable world by, among other things, developing innovative solutions for the energy sector,” says Mikael Kraft, Head of Factory Automation and Sales at Siemens Digital Industries.
