Stargate Hydrogen, a European deep-tech company pioneering ceramic-based electrolysis technology, and OX2, a leading developer of renewable energy solutions, announced on October 22, 2025, the signing of an agreement to jointly accelerate the commercial deployment of large-scale renewable hydrogen production in the Nordic region. The partnership will focus on delivering a hydrogen project in Åland, Finland, positioning it as a key hub for large-scale green hydrogen production across Northern Europe.

Aurora Electrolyzer Technology and Åland Project

As the first step in the partnership, the companies will deliver a large-scale hydrogen electrolyzer in Åland, powered by Stargate Hydrogen's new 10 MW Aurora electrolyzer system module. The agreement marks the official commercialization of Stargate Hydrogen's industrial-scale electrolyzer platform, reinforcing its foothold in Northern Europe.

“This agreement marks a major step forward in our mission to deliver industrial-scale green hydrogen solutions to Europe. The Åland project will demonstrate both the scalability and cost competitiveness of our new system and also position Åland as a hub of the Nordic hydrogen economy,” said Marko Virkebau, CEO of Stargate Hydrogen.

Once operational, the Åland project will establish one of the largest hydrogen production assets in the Nordics and utilize the latest hydrogen technology, fully developed in Europe. The project aims to position Åland as a strategic energy hub for the Nordics and to support the transformation of local society through the local industry, roadside traffic, and the green corridors concept.

ABB-Led H2 Springboard Program Participation

In parallel with the Åland project, Stargate Hydrogen and OX2 will coordinate their participation in the ABB-led H2 Springboard program, a national-scale hydrogen innovation initiative supported by over EUR 150 million in R&D investment. Through this program, the parties will contribute technology, expertise, and infrastructure to co-develop modular hydrogen solutions with high export potential.

The collaboration within the H2 Springboard program will focus on accelerating technology validation and partner engagement, while leveraging public funding and innovation networks to reduce time-to-market and strengthen competitiveness.

Strategic Partnership Objectives

The agreement underscores both parties' shared commitment to decarbonizing heavy industry and advancing the growth of the hydrogen economy. Anders Wiklund, Regional Manager OX2 Åland, stated: “At OX2, we see renewable hydrogen as a key enabler of the energy transition. Partnering with Stargate Hydrogen allows us to connect world-class electrolyzer technology with our large-scale renewable energy portfolio. Together, we can accelerate the development of a sustainable hydrogen ecosystem in the Nordics and beyond.”

The partnership combines Stargate Hydrogen's innovative ceramic-based electrolysis technology with OX2's extensive renewable energy development capabilities. OX2 develops, builds, sells, owns, and operates large-scale renewable energy solutions, operating across Europe and Australia within onshore and offshore wind power, solar power, and energy storage sectors.

Stargate Hydrogen specializes in advancing green hydrogen production through innovative ceramic-based electrolyzer technology. The company's Aurora electrolyzer systems represent a significant technological advancement in the industrial-scale hydrogen production sector, with the 10 MW modules designed for large-scale deployment across Northern Europe.
