The German ABO Energy group has been granted a planning reservation to build a hydrogen production plant in Oulu in northern Finland. In the preliminary plan, the new hydrogen plant would have an electrolyser with a maximum capacity of 600 MW. Implementation would take place in 2\u20133 phases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to hydrogen production, the company is exploring the possibility of producing methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (E\u2011SAF) in Oulu. The feasibility of synthetic fuel production depends on the availability of biogenic carbon dioxide. ABO Energy would offer the waste heat generated for use as district heating in the Oulu region.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first phase is planned to be operational around 2034\u20132036. For the new green transition industrial area of Pyyryv\u00e4inen, the plant would be implemented by ABO Energy Suomi Oy, whose parent company is ABO Energy KGaA of Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinland is an incredibly attractive destination for investment, thanks to our abundant, affordable green electricity and exceptional capacity to scale up production. Our unique strength as a company lies in our ability to supply renewable energy to hydrogen projects directly through our wind energy portfolio,\u201d says Amanda Cardwell of ABO Energy Suomi Oy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Electricity in Finland is among the cheapest in Europe. The Oulu region is the largest producer of renewable electricity in Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several other hydrogen production and H2<\/sub> derivative projects have already been initiated in the Oulu region. Gasgrid Finland plans to establish a hydrogen transport infrastructure to connect Oulu\u2019s hydrogen production with the rest of Finland and other European countries, including Germany. Other hydrogen production companies have also decided to invest in Oulu, attracted by the international port of Oulu, biogenic carbon dioxide sources and the European TEN\u2011T transport network. The University of Oulu is also a centre of hydrogen research, providing the city with both high-quality hydrogen expertise and a large pool of hydrogen specialists to meet companies\u2019 workforce needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This land reservation is only a preliminary decision; a final investment decision will be made later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Oulu GH2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Together towards green hydrogen business in Oulu and Northern Finland project aims to create a centralized hydrogen economy innovation ecosystem operating model for the region of Oulu and North Ostrobothnia. As part of the project, the hydrogen valley of the Bothnian Bay will be built by sharing information and bringing actors together, sharing news and best case studies, and effectively communicating them to different parts of the network by BusinessOulu. Oulu GH2 is funded by the Council of Oulu Region, which finances the project as part of the EU programme: A Rejuvenating and Skilled Finland 2021\u20132027, the EU\u2019s regional and structural policy programme JTF fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
