IðunnH2 will use Iceland’s 100% renewable energy (hydropower, geothermal and wind) to make green hydrogen and SAF. The company says that although energy rates are competitive, the problem is forming long-term power purchase agreements with suppliers. IðunnH2 has agreements in principle and also signed up Icelandair as a customer in March 2023.
The site is near Keflavík International Airport.
