Sunfire awarded contract to conduct FEED study for 40 MW hydrogen project in Joensuu, Finland
At the start of the year, P2X Solutions and Sunfire marked a historic milestone with the first industrial scale green hydrogen production in Finland’s energy history. Building on this achievement, the two hydrogen pioneers are now further strengthening their partnership:
Sunfire has been selected by P2X Solutions to conduct the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study for the 40 MW hydrogen project in Joensuu, Finland. For this project, P2X Solutions is continuing to leverage the German electrolysis specialist’s industrial pressurized alkaline technology. The companies announced the ongoing collaboration today at the World Hydrogen Congress in Copenhagen.
Herkko Plit, CEO of P2X Solutions, underlines: “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. We are very pleased to tackle this challenge together with Sunfire and its technology.”
Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire, states: “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.”
Milestone for Project Implementation
Sunfire has already started the comprehensive FEED study, which, in close collaboration with the integration partners, defines the requirements and prerequisites for a 40 MW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer. The outcome of the study represents a key milestone on the path to project realization and ensures effective implementation.
In Joensuu, the green hydrogen produced by the electrolysis plant will later be used to produce e-methanol — a synthetic fuel that plays a key role in reducing CO₂ emissions, particularly in the shipping and aviation industries.
