Centre for Hydrogen Energy Systems Sweden
CH2ESS is a research and knowledge initiative at Luleå University of Technology with a focus on hydrogen use in industrial processes and energy systems, in close collaboration with Swedish industry.
Hydrogen is the key to a fossil-free energy systems and Luleå University of Technology is involved and secures that development in Sweden through groundbreaking research and skills supply. Luleå University of Technology is a strong research and education partner to the Swedish hydrogen industry with the aim of replacing fossils fuels and cope with the global climate change.

Education
In collaboration with companies within CH2ESS, we further develop research and training so that they match the needs of hydrogen competence.

Collaboration in focus at Nordic hydrogen conference
Luleå University of Technology recently hosted the Nordic Hydrogen Valleys Conference, where experts and researchers gathered to discuss the role of hydrogen in the green transition.

Overlooked technology for fossil-free hydrogen
An important technology pathway that is rarely mentioned in the constant search for cost-efficient technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, is biomass-based hydrogen production.
