Can you please introduce yourself in 1 sentence?
I am Sara, an experienced executive with a passion for transforming businesses from fossil fuels to renewable energy!
How would you describe your job at Lhyfe and what do you particularly like about it?
I am responsible for developing Lhyfe’s business in Sweden. This includes everything from project and business development to supply chain management and communication, ensuring that we have the right people on board to achieve our goals. I enjoy being part of a journey with an exciting path ahead.
How does your work contribute to reducing CO2 emissions?
Using hydrogen as a fuel, either in vehicles or in industrial processes, means that another fuel—most often a fossil one—has been replaced! This is a direct result of our work at Lhyfe, as we can monitor the reduction of CO2 emissions. Lhyfe has set a corporate target to reduce 1 billion tonnes of CO2, aiming to become a green unicorn based on our reductions.
What is your fondest memory of working at Lhyfe?
We are a values-driven company with the ambition to leave a better world for our children! As a woman, I am particularly proud that we are committed to creating a diverse company with equal representation of gender and nationalities.
And finally, why green hydrogen?
I think we can all agree that we need to replace fossil fuels. Depending on the application, direct electrification is not suitable for every case. In certain applications, such as heavy-duty transport and industrial processes that require high temperatures for heating, green hydrogen is an excellent candidate for use as a green fuel.
