The new project builds on the success of the companies’ previous collaboration at P2X Solutions’ Harjavalta facility, where Finland’s first industrial-scale green hydrogen production was achieved earlier this year. The Joensuu project will again utilise Sunfire’s pressurised alkaline electrolyser technology.
“The FEED study is an important milestone towards the investment decision of our next undertaking in Joensuu, which will triple our total capacity for green hydrogen production,” said Herkko Plit, CEO of P2X Solutions. “We are very pleased to tackle this challenge together with Sunfire and its technology.”
Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire, added: “The commissioning of the Harjavalta plant showcased the strong execution capabilities of P2X Solutions and Sunfire in delivering commercial hydrogen projects. I’m excited that we are now taking our partnership to the next level in Joensuu – as a trusted technology partner alongside P2X Solutions, with a clear mission: to drive the growth of the hydrogen economy in Finland and Europe.”
The comprehensive FEED study, already under way, will define the technical and integration requirements for a 40 MW pressurised alkaline electrolyser. The study represents a key step towards project realisation and will ensure effective implementation.
In Joensuu, the green hydrogen produced will be used to manufacture e-methanol, a synthetic fuel intended to reduce CO₂ emissions in the shipping and aviation industries.
