Tax credit for green methanol project

ETFuels has been awarded €118.6m ($139.8m) in tax credits over 19 years under Business Finland’s Clean Transition program to develop a green hydrogen-based methanol project in Lapland. The credits will go towards the company’s Ranua facility, which is designed to produce 110,000 t/a of green methanol. According to ETFuels, the project, which is currently in early engineering stages, will use 300MW of renewable wind energy alongside battery storage facilities. The Ranua project is being developed in collaboration with Finnish energy firm Neova.
