About us

Metacon is building the hydrogen transition

Metacon develops and delivers hydrogen production systems that help turn the energy transition into working infrastructure. 

Advanced hydrogen production technologies

Our offering includes electrolysis-based systems for green hydrogen production, as well as reforming technologies for hydrogen production from biogas and other hydrocarbons. We support customers with technology, engineering, automation, system integration and service.

Our commercial focus is on scalable hydrogen production systems for customers across industry, energy and transport. Typical projects range from pilot installations to larger multi-megawatt plants, depending on customer needs and energy availability.

Scalable systems for industrial use

Through our partnership with PERIC Hydrogen Technologies, Metacon offers alkaline electrolysis systems suitable for large-scale hydrogen production. This strengthens our ability to address projects where cost efficiency, proven technology and industrial manufacturing capability are key factors.

From biogas to low-emission hydrogen

In parallel, Metacon’s reforming technology enables hydrogen production from biogas and other hydrocarbons. This creates opportunities for a wide range of applications, including hydrogen production at biogas facilities, circular energy systems, and solutions such as ammonia cracking for shipping and other transport-related use cases.

From project development to operation

We support customers from early project development and system design through to delivery, integration and long-term operation. We work with customers who need reliable hydrogen production close to where it is used, including applications in industry, energy systems and transport.

A Swedish hydrogen technology company

We were founded in Karlskoga, Sweden, in 2011 and have since developed our business around technologies for fossil-free and low-emission hydrogen production. Since September 2022, Metacon AB (publ) has been listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market under the ticker META.

Our focus is to enable customers to produce hydrogen where it is needed, using resources such as fossil-free electricity, biogas and other suitable energy carriers.

Metacon’s vision

To be a leading European supplier of industrial-scale electrolysis systems and innovative reforming-based solutions for the green hydrogen markets.

Metacon’s mission

To provide powerful and innovative hydrogen solutions for fossil-free industry, energy and transport, enabling resilient and self-sufficient societies.

Clear customer segments emerge for Metacon

Metacon has one of the market’s broadest portfolios of products and solutions in the hydrogen field. We are focusing on larger-scale hydrogen production for selected customer segments in basic industries, renewable energy production (storage of wind and solar power) and the transport sector. We also evaluate opportunities in marine applications and the real estate sector, and continuously evaluate the maturity of both our own solutions and our customers. Our core products, based on proprietary, patented technology, include green hydrogen production through reforming of biogas or other energy sources. We also offer robust and cost-effective electrolysis plants, which are designed to be suitable for both small- and very large-scale production for customers with access to fossil-free electricity.

Basic industry

For Metacon, the industrial sector is an important segment with several different customer categories, including fossil-free steel production, green ammonia and refinery plants as these show an advanced degree of maturity. We have the capacity to offer large-scale and cost-effective alkaline electrolysis plants, including plants spanning over 500 MW, which few players in the market can.

Renewable energy storage

Metacon offers scalable hydrogen systems in both electrolysis and reforming, which enables adaptation to customer needs. These systems can be integrated directly with fossil-free sources such as hydropower plants, wind turbines, solar parks or biogas plants to offer sustainable and carbon-neutral hydrogen production and thereby off-grid energy storage.

Transport sector

The automotive industry needs to change to reduce its climate impact. Metacon offers solutions in hydrogen production and hydrogen refuelling to meet this need. But we also have new innovative solutions under development with partners. For example, we convert ethanol into hydrogen for fuel cells, which can enable off-grid fast charging for battery-electric vehicles.

Sustainable shipping

Metacon has interesting technologies for the shipping industry where strict emission regulations are driving the demand for hydrogen-based solutions. Our ammonia cracking technology has the potential to enable the operation of ships completely free of carbon dioxide emissions.
