Green eFuel Facility to Drive Clean Energy Transition in Naantali, Finland
Key Ideas
  • Liquid Wind and Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy signed an MoU for an eFuel facility in Naantali, Finland, aiming to produce 100,000 tons/a of eMethanol from green hydrogen and biogenic CO2.
  • The facility will utilize existing infrastructure, reduce incineration-based district heat production, and support the clean energy transition by providing a renewable fuel alternative for hard-to-abate sectors like shipping and aviation.
  • The project focuses on Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) locally, promotes domestic hydrogen economy projects, aligns with circular energy economy principles, and contributes to the green transition of the Naantali area.
  • Stakeholders emphasize the importance of the project in achieving climate goals, securing renewable district heating, and strengthening the position of the Naantali power plant while promoting resource efficiency and city vitality.
Liquid Wind AB and Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop an eFuel facility in Naantali, Finland. This project is a significant green hydrogen initiative supporting the clean energy transition and domestic competitiveness. The facility, planned to be adjacent to TSE's power plant Naantali 4, will produce 100,000 tons per year of eMethanol made from green hydrogen and biogenic CO2. The eFuel facility aims to reduce incineration-based district heat production by utilizing waste heat from the process and will support hard-to-abate sectors like shipping and aviation in transitioning away from fossil fuels. The facility is expected to be operational in 2029 following a final investment decision in 2026. The collaboration between the two companies focuses on Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) locally, promoting concrete domestic hydrogen economy projects, and aligning with circular energy economy principles. The project has received positive feedback from stakeholders, emphasizing its role in achieving climate goals, securing renewable district heating, and enhancing the position of the Naantali power plant. Overall, the eFuel facility project not only contributes to the global clean energy transition but also plays a pivotal role in the green transformation of the Naantali area, aligning with the city's strategic goals of responsibility and vitality.
