Metacon publishes interim report for Q3 2023

We see a strong increase in interest in our systems and solutions as a direct result of the inauguration of the filling station in Älghult in Småland in August. The filling station will serve both heavy vehicles and passenger cars with green hydrogen from local wind power electricity and was a historic milestone for Metacon in our long-term company building, comments Christer Wikner, President and CEO.

For the full CEO-comment, see the Interim report in its entirety.

About Metacon AB (publ)

Metacon AB (publ) develops and manufactures energy systems for the production of hydrogen, heat and electricity. The products in the Reforming business area are based on a patented technology that generates hydrogen through catalytic steam reforming of biogas or other hydrocarbons. The development of Metacon's reforming products is done within the wholly-owned subsidiary Helbio S.A in Patras, Greece. The business is focused on catalytic process chemistry and advanced reformers for highly efficient hydrogen production. 

Metacon also offers complete integrated filling stations for hydrogen and system solutions and facilities for the production of hydrogen through so-called electrolysis, a large and globally growing area for small and large-scale production of green hydrogen. Electrolysis is a process in which you drive a chemical reaction to split water by adding electricity. If the electricity used is non-fossil, the hydrogen will also be fossil-free and climate-neutral. Green hydrogen can be used in transport, basic industry and the real estate sector, with a better environment and climate as a result. www.metacon.com
