Koppö Energia Oy Selects thyssenkrupp Uhde for Green Methanol Project in Finland
Key Ideas
  • Koppö Energia Oy in Finland has chosen thyssenkrupp Uhde's green methanol technology for a P2X project, aiming to produce 450 mtpd of e-methanol for green fuel markets.
  • The project involves utilizing renewable hydrogen to hydrogenate captured CO₂, sourced from a waste incineration facility, in an integrated approach for sustainability.
  • thyssenkrupp Uhde's expertise and technology are set to contribute to Finland's green energy goals by enhancing transportation decarbonisation in a climate-conscious design.
  • The collaboration signifies a significant step in Europe's green fuel transition, combining industrial innovation, economic benefits, and environmental advantages.
Koppö Energia Oy has partnered with thyssenkrupp Uhde to advance sustainable fuel production in Finland. The project, located in Kristinestad, aims to produce 450 metric tons per day of e-methanol to cater to the maritime and e-gasoline fuel markets. This initiative is a step towards decarbonizing transportation and aligning with Finland's green energy objectives. The production of green methanol, unlike grey methanol derived from natural gas, involves hydrogenating captured CO₂ using renewable hydrogen. The hydrogen needed for this project will be sourced from a 200 MW water electrolysis plant powered by green electricity. CO₂ will be sourced from a waste incineration facility in Vaasa, Finland, completing the carbon loop through transportation to the P2X plant. thyssenkrupp Uhde's green methanol technology offers economic and environmental advantages with high efficiencies and a patented process that reduces carbon footprint. This collaboration demonstrates cross-industrial cooperation towards establishing green methanol as a sustainable fuel. Koppö Energia emphasized the importance of integrating technological capabilities and expertise for project success, highlighting the significance of partnering with thyssenkrupp Uhde. The project not only aims for economic profitability but also contributes to environmental sustainability by merging industrial innovation with a climate-conscious design. The collaboration represents a milestone in Europe's transition towards green fuels.
