Sundsvall Energi will accomplice with Liquid Wind to be the host and supply carbon dioxide for the second commercial-scale—100,000 t—electrofuel facility in Sweden. Biogenic carbon dioxide from the Sundsvall power facility might be captured and mixed with renewable hydrogen to generate inexperienced electrofuel, eMethanol. The gas is meant for the maritime trade to help the transition to carbon impartial delivery.
Sundsvall Energi, biogenic CO2 provider and host for FlagshipTWO
We’re excited to announce FlagshipTWO—a venture that can additional strengthen Sweden’s place within the inexperienced transition whereas supporting native fossil-free gas manufacturing. The ability in Sundsvall may have twice the capability in comparison with FlagshipONE in Örnsköldsvik, and can serve the maritime market.
—Claes Fredriksson, CEO and Founding father of Liquid Wind
The 2 corporations will work intently to combine their operations. Liquid Wind’s facility might be constructed on Sundsvall Energi’s Korstaverket web site. Utilizing environment friendly carbon seize expertise, Liquid Wind goals to seize all CO2 emitted from Korstaverket: 240,000 tonnes per yr.
Within the Liquid Wind facility, inexperienced hydrogen might be produced from extra renewable electrical energy and water. This hydrogen will then be mixed with the biogenic fraction of the captured CO2 in a reactor to kind eMethanol. The 2 services may even be intently built-in to trade steam, waste warmth and different course of medias to maximise use of assets.
The fossil fraction of CO2 is additional processed by Sundsvall Energi for long-term storage within the bedrock: CCS, (Carbon Seize and Storage).
Liquid Wind has a robust neighborhood of strategic companions which is able to provide expertise and the experience to supply eMethanol. It’s an skilled group that additionally has labored collectively on FlagshipONE. Going ahead they may design the expertise integration and engineer the power, in shut collaboration with Sundsvall Energi.
The purpose is to make the funding determination in late 2023, topic to environmental allowing course of and extension of the electrical energy grid connection. With a development time of roughly two years, the electrofuel is deliberate to be out there by the top of 2025 or early 2026.
