What HYDRIE does
Hydri develops and operates green hydrogen infrastructure for transport and industrial customers in Sweden and Norway, headquartered in Göteborg. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qarlbo Energy and operates through two subsidiaries: Hydri Infrastructure AB, which runs a nationwide refueling station network, and Hydri Solutions AB (formerly Nilsson Energy), which delivers turnkey hydrogen production, storage, and dispensing systems. Hydri's core product is a network of refueling stations equipped with dual-pressure dispensers (350 bar H35 for heavy vehicles and 700 bar H70 for passenger cars), backed by on-site or off-grid electrolysis-based green hydrogen production and compression up to 380 bar for tube-trailer distribution. Ten stations were operational as of May 2026 along major Swedish transport corridors from Trelleborg to Kiruna, co-located with Rasta truck stops, with a stated roadmap to 12 stations by end-2026 and 19 by 2028.
The company serves heavy-duty transport and logistics operators, municipalities, industrial and energy companies, and passenger vehicle owners, with Volvo Lastvagnar Sverige and Scania as strategic OEM partners developing hydrogen-powered trucks that use the network for testing and pilot deployments. Hydri generates revenue through multiple streams: per-kilogram hydrogen fuel sales at stations, one-time turnkey hydrogen system projects (such as the 2 MW Å Energi plant at Pikerfoss, Norway, and a 14.2 million SEK municipal energy system for Mariestads Kommun), advisory and engineering consulting, recurring service and maintenance contracts, and the HydriCard corporate fleet payment program with monthly invoicing. The company is positioned as a first-mover in Swedish hydrogen infrastructure, reinforced by co-founding the H2 Infrastructure Alliance with five other European station operators and securing a board seat at industry association Vätgas Sverige.
Commercially, Hydri pursues an enterprise field-sales go-to-market, engaging directly with fleet operators, trucking companies, and public-sector buyers, supplemented by the HydriCard channel for fleet management. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated rather than publicly disclosed, reflecting the bespoke nature of turnkey projects and the early-stage state of hydrogen fuel pricing. Capital intensity is high given the per-station cost of electrolysis, compression, and dual-dispenser infrastructure, but the company is backed by Qarlbo Energy, which combines active ownership with capital access from Qarlbo and FAM-owned Thisbe. The strategic thesis is to solve the chicken-and-egg problem between hydrogen vehicles and refueling availability by building nationwide coverage that unlocks fleet adoption in heavy transport.
