Neste has decided to withdraw from investing into a 120 MW electrolyzer project to produce renewable hydrogen at its Porvoo refinery in Finland. The decision follows the completion of the basic engineering phase, which commenced in May 2023.\u00a0<\/strong>

The reasons behind the withdrawal are the company\u2019s challenging market conditions and financial performance, requiring critical assessment of any new investments. Evaluation of this project has been impacted by the tight limitations on the use of renewable hydrogen in the refinery\u2019s processes in fulfilling the Finnish national distribution obligation. These limitations prevent the full economic utilization of electrolyzer of this size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile we are discontinuing the initial renewable hydrogen project, we are actively evaluating alternative pathways for securing renewable hydrogen in Porvoo. Our ambition remains to utilize renewable hydrogen at the Porvoo refinery, contributing also to fulfillment of the Finnish renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) distribution obligation. Together with our partners, we continue the work to develop hydrogen ecosystems connected to our Porvoo refinery,\u201d says Markku Korvenranta, Executive Vice President for Oil Products business unit at Neste<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
