X2 and Ingka Investments are expected to submit an application for another offshore wind-to-hydrogen project to the Swedish authorities, after the partners recently applied for a permit to build a similar project off the coast of Blekinge. The second energy hub combining offshore wind energy and green hydrogen production for which the partners are expected to request a permit would be built off Gotland.
Earlier this month, OX2 and Ingka Investments, the investment arm of Ingka Group (the biggest IKEA retailer) filed the application under the act of Sweden’s Exclusive Economic Zone to build the offshore energy hub named Neptunus some 50 kilometres off the coast in the south of Sweden.
Neptunus is planned to comprise up to 207 wind turbines and have a total installed capacity of 3.1 GW. The energy hub is planned to include offshore hydrogen production and a pilot project to oxygenate the Baltic Sea. If permits are obtained, construction can start in 2030.
