Koppö Energia to license thyssenkrupp Uhde methanol technology
Koppö Energia Oy has ordered a FEED (front end engineering design) contract from thyssenkrupp Uhde for its planned green methanol plant, as part of a power-to-x (P2X) project being developed by Koppö Energia in Kristinestad, Finland. The methanol plant will have a planned capacity of 450 t/d to support the maritime and e-gasoline fuel markets. Renewable hydrogen will come from a 200MW water electrolysis plant. CO2 will be captured in the city of Vaasa in Finland from a waste incineration facility. It will then be liquified and transported via trucks to the P2X facilities.
Nadja Håkansson, CEO of thyssenkrupp Uhde said of the award: “We are proud that our technology and implementation know-how will contribute to this pioneering project by Koppö Energia Oy. This is an excellent proof point for cross-industrial cooperation in the establishment of green methanol as a fuel.”
Thomas Zirngibl, Director at Koppö Energia said: “We are very pleased to cooperate with thyssenkrupp Uhde on this project as they bring the right technologies as well as the integration skills for ensuring a smooth tie-in and project delivery.”
