Graphmatech Secures €2.5M EU Grant to Scale Graphene Hydrogen Storage Tech in Sweden

Graphmatech, a cutting-edge materials company out of Sweden, just snagged a €2.5 million EU grant to take their breakthrough polymer-graphene hydrogen storage linings to the next level. With additional backing from the Swedish Energy Agency, the funding is fueling the setup of a new pilot-scale production and testing site in Uppsala. The goal? Ramping up output in a big way—from just 5 tonnes a year to a game-changing 200.

Better hydrogen storage, built for tomorrow

What makes this tech a game-changer? These graphene-based linings dramatically cut hydrogen leakage—we’re talking up to 83% better containment than the typical materials used today. That’s a massive leap for sustainable energy and a key step forward in building out reliable, efficient hydrogen infrastructure. Even better, it’s not just for new builds; these linings can retrofit directly into existing hydrogen tanks and pipelines, no major overhauls required.

A powerful collaboration for cleaner fuel

To make the biggest impact, Graphmatech is teaming up with UK-based Levidian, a company known for its low-emissions LOOP technology that produces both hydrogen and graphene. Together, they’re working to build a full-blown, low-carbon hydrogen supply chain—taking the innovation from lab to real-world use.

Hydrogen on the road by 2027

One of the most exciting parts of this project? By 2027, the tech will be hitting the road—literally—across around 1,500 commercial vehicles. It’s a huge win for industrial decarbonization, cutting emissions where it counts: transportation. And it ties right into the EU’s broader hydrogen strategy, delivering practical tools for battling climate change, not just promises.
