The German electrolyzer manufacturer will oversee the design, production, testing, delivery, supervision of installation and commissioning, as well as performance testing of the equipment.
Ren-Gas’s Tampere facility is set to produce renewable e-methane for heavy road and maritime transport. In the e-methane production process, approximately 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide captured from the Tarastenjärvi waste incineration plant’s flue gases will serve as raw material, along with green hydrogen produced using Sunfire’s electrolyzer. The plant is expected to generate approximately 200 GWh of renewable fuel for heavy transport annually, in addition to 180 GWh of carbon dioxide-free district heating for Tampere’s district heating system.
Saara Kujala, CEO of Ren-Gas, said: “Following a thorough analysis and selection process, we are pleased to announce the selection of Sunfire as our electrolysis equipment supplier for our Tampere project. Throughout the selection process, we closely collaborated with Sunfire, whose capabilities and commitment to green hydrogen production are exceptional. Our cooperation serves as a tangible example of European hydrogen industry collaboration, demonstrating our shared interest in advancing the European hydrogen sector.”
Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire, added: “We’re proud to provide our pressurized alkaline electrolyzer technology for Ren-Gas’s Tampere e-methane plant. Our advanced solution is designed to deliver efficient and reliable hydrogen production at scale, ensuring that Ren-Gas meets its ambitious sustainability targets. This partnership marks a significant step forward in establishing Europe’s leadership role in the green hydrogen sector.”
