Technology group Wärtsilä will provide the front-end engineering design (FEED) for the liquefaction and storage of liquefied methane (LSM), the company announced on 15 August.
The plant is to be built by Koppö Energia Oy, a joint venture company between Germany’s Prime Green Energy Infrastructure Fund and CPC Finland Oy, in Kristinestad, Finland. The FEED will be booked by Wärtsilä in Q3, 2023.
It will have a capacity of 200 MW and will convert green electricity into hydrogen and sustainable LSM. Up to 500 MW of wind and 100 MW of photovoltaic power will be developed under the Koppö Energy Cluster to supply the plant with completely emission-free renewable energy. The investment decision for the plant is expected to be made in the beginning of 2024.
