Metacon publishes interim report for Q3 2024

In the third quarter, we were pleased to announce that we had entered into an agreement for the sale and delivery of a 30 MW electrolysis plant to Motor Oil, in Greece. It is a breakthrough in our strategy to become a leading manufacturer and supplier in the field of industrial hydrogen production. The project for Motor Oil is an important step in our work to develop and license manufacture electrolysis plants for large-scale hydrogen production. Metacon's own production of system products will begin already within the framework of this project as we will use our existing factory and staff in Greece. The project has further growth potential as Motor Oil has the opportunity to expand the plant by an additional 20 MW in a second phase.

About Metacon

Metacon AB (publ) develops and manufactures energy systems for the production of fossil-free "green" hydrogen. The products in the Reforming business area are based on a patented technology that generates hydrogen through so-called catalytic steam reforming of biogas or other substances. The development of Metacon's reforming products is carried out within the wholly-owned subsidiary Metacon S.A in Patras, Greece. The business is focused on catalytic process chemistry and advanced reformers for high-efficiency hydrogen production. 

Metacon also offers complete electrolysis plants and integrated refuelling stations for green hydrogen, a large and globally growing area for production of green hydrogen. Electrolysis is a process in which a chemical reaction is driven to split water into hydrogen and oxygen by adding electricity. If the electricity used is fossil-free, hydrogen will also be fossil-free and climate-neutral. Green hydrogen can be used in the transport sector, basic industry and the real estate sector, among others, and lead to a better environment, climate and increased self-sufficiency in energy and vehicle fuel as a result. www.metacon.com
