Building on the success of Finland’s first industrial-scale green hydrogen production, P2X Solutions and German electrolysis specialist Sunfire are strengthening their partnership.
The companies announced at the World Hydrogen Congress in Copenhagen that P2X Solutions has selected Sunfire to conduct the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study for its planned 40 MW hydrogen project in Joensuu, Finland. P2X Solutions will continue to leverage Sunfire’s reliable industrial pressurized alkaline technology for this major expansion.
Tripling Green Hydrogen Capacity
This new Joensuu facility is a critical step in scaling up Finland’s hydrogen economy. The green hydrogen produced there will be used to manufacture e-methanol, a synthetic fuel vital for decarbonizing the shipping and aviation industries.
Herkko Plit, CEO of P2X Solutions, emphasized the project’s significance: “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.”
The comprehensive FEED study, which Sunfire has already begun, will define the technical requirements and prerequisites for the 40 MW electrolyzer. Successful completion of the study is a key step toward the final project investment decision and implementation.
A Proven Track Record of Execution
The decision to deepen the collaboration follows the successful commissioning of P2X Solutions’ 20 MW plant in Harjavalta earlier this year. That project, which also used Sunfire’s pressurized alkaline technology, marked a historic milestone as the first industrial-scale green hydrogen plant to enter commercial operation in Finland. The achievement was personally recognized and congratulated by Alexander Stubb, President of the Republic of Finland.
Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire, expressed enthusiasm about the continued collaboration: “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.”
This continued partnership underscores the two companies’ shared vision and proven ability to successfully deliver commercial-scale hydrogen projects in the European market.
