OKG signs pink hydrogen supply deal
Swedish nuclear firm will sell pink hydrogen produced at Oskarshamn nuclear plant after overhauling hydrogen facility
Swedish nuclear power firm OKG—a joint venture between utilities Fortum and Uniper—has signed a contract to sell pink hydrogen produced at its Oskarshamn nuclear plant to a commercial offtaker.
