7 regions, 18 value chains, 450,000 tons of hydrogen

The BotH₂nia Hydrogen Valley is a hydrogen valley designated by the EU’s Clean Hydrogen Partnership programme, integrating hydrogen production, processing, and utilisation. It officially encompasses the NUTS3 regions of Southwest Finland, Satakunta, Pirkanmaa, Ostrobothnia, Central Ostrobothnia, North Ostrobothnia, and Sea Lapland.

The valley region generates more than two-thirds of Finland’s wind power, making Finland’s electricity among the cheapest in Europe. Three hydrogen plants are already in operation, and 15 other value chains are under development for production, storage, transportation, and distribution. By 2035, the region will produce over 450,000 tons of clean hydrogen annually. Because biogenic carbon dioxide is abundantly available, the valley will also produce hydrogen derivatives such as e-methane, e-methanol, e-SAF, and e-ammonia.

The BotH₂nia Association is developing a hydrogen economy that spans the entire BotH₂nia Hydrogen Valley, involving the hydrogen industry, its subcontractors, research and educational institutions, and other stakeholders. The association organises events in the hydrogen sector, disseminates industry knowledge online, promotes the hydrogen valley, and fosters dialogue among network members. The BotH₂nia Association welcomes companies with an interest in the hydrogen industry, commercial hydrogen project developers, RDI actors, educational organisations, investors, municipalities, cities, and public authorities from Finland, Sweden, and beyond.
