Libra Horizon, a joint venture between Scandinavian Horizon and EnBW Sweden, announced on October 13, 2025, that Trollhättan has been selected as the location for its first green hydrogen project. The planned 5 MW facility will produce up to 775 tons of green hydrogen per year at full capacity, reducing CO2 emissions by more than 9,000 tons annually.

The hydrogen production will supply both industrial users and the transport sector, two areas where decarbonization is especially challenging. The facility represents the first project for Libra Horizon, which was established in 2024 to develop, build, and operate green hydrogen projects across Sweden.

Strategic Location Selection

Trollhättan was chosen because of its strong culture of innovation, its clear climate agenda, and the role of Trollhättan Energi as a pioneer in sustainable energy solutions. The involvement of Trollhättan Energi ensures that the project becomes part of a larger integrated energy system, where waste heat from hydrogen production will be fed into the city's district heating network.

“Launching our first project in Trollhättan is a deliberate choice. The city has an energy utility that dares to innovate and a municipality that leads with ambition. Together, we can show how hydrogen can become an integrated part of a resilient and sustainable energy system,” said Mads Miltersen, EnBW Sweden. From a local perspective, Trollhättan Energi views the project as an important step in developing a more flexible and future-oriented energy system.

“We are in the middle of an energy transition where district heating, electricity, and everyone who lives and works in Trollhättan needs to work together to balance energy use. The key is flexibility and the ability to adapt quickly to new conditions. In doing so, we build a stable infrastructure, enable more renewable energy, and contribute to Trollhättan's continued development,” said Pia Brühl Hjort, CEO of Trollhättan Energi.

Flexible Grid Integration

A key feature of the facility will be its flexible operation. By leveraging available grid capacity, which is typically challenging to align with conventional customers, the project can optimize production at optimal times without displacing other users or future developments. This approach enables cost-efficient hydrogen production while ensuring more innovative use of the existing grid, supporting both renewable integration and overall system stability.

The flexible operation model allows the facility to adapt to grid conditions and optimize production timing, contributing to a more resilient energy infrastructure for the region.

Company Background and Expansion Plans

Libra Horizon combines international scale and local expertise to deliver reliable, sustainable hydrogen solutions that support both industrial decarbonization and fossil-free mobility. Trollhättan will host the company's first facility, serving as a starting point for long-term investment in clean, flexible energy solutions. EnBW Sweden is a subsidiary of EnBW AG, one of Europe's largest energy companies with 30,000 employees, 5.5 million customers, operations in eight countries, and more than 5,400 MW of installed renewable capacity.

In Sweden, EnBW owns eight wind farms with a combined output of over 120 MW and is actively expanding its renewable energy portfolio, including wind, solar, and storage. Scandinavian Horizon AB is a renewable energy company based in Gothenburg, Sweden, specializing in the development, construction, and operation of green hydrogen production facilities.

The company has strong expertise in hydrogen infrastructure and partnerships across multiple industries, and is committed to building scalable, sustainable energy solutions that can effectively replace fossil fuels and accelerate the energy transition. The Trollhättan project represents a significant step in Sweden's green energy transition, combining advanced hydrogen production technology with innovative grid integration and waste heat recovery systems to maximize efficiency and environmental benefits.
