In Finland, technology group Wärtsilä said it will provide the front-end engineering design (FEED) for the liquefaction and storage of liquefied synthetic methane (LSM).
The company said that the plant is to be built by Koppö Energia Oy, a joint venture company between Germany’s Prime Green Energy Infrastructure Fund and CPC Finland Oy, in Kristinestad, Finland.
It will have a capacity of 200 MW and will convert green electricity into hydrogen and sustainable LSM. Up to 500 MW of wind and 100 MW of photovoltaic power will be developed under the Koppö Energy Cluster to supply the plant with completely emission-free renewable energy, the firm added.
“As the energy transition progresses, we expect green hydrogen to play an increasingly relevant part. Our company is also heavily involved in the research and development of alternative sustainable fuels, and we see Power-to-X technologies playing a growing role in the energy transition towards a future where renewable energy becomes increasingly important,” said Trond Inge Flønes, Sales and Business Development Manager, Wärtsilä Gas Solutions.
