A significant Green Hydrogen project
Liquid Wind and Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy (TSE) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop of an eFuel facility in Naantali, Finland, marking the launch of a close cooperation. This is one of Finland’s most significant green hydrogen projects supporting the clean energy transition and domestic competitiveness by utilizing existing infrastructure.
The eFuel facility is planned to be adjacent to TSE’s local power plant Naantali 4 which will deliver biogenic CO2 and steam for the production of eMethanol. In addition, the process and waste heat of Liquid Wind’s facility will be used for district heat, reducing the share of incineration-based district heat production by TSE.
Once operational, the eFuel facility will produce 100,000 tons/a eMethanol made from green hydrogen and biogenic CO2 (160,000 tons/a). Final investment decision (FID) is planned for 2026, and the facility will be operational in 2029.
