Fimpec part of pioneering green hydrogen project
Fimpec has signed a co-operation framework agreement with P2X Solutions concerning project consultation and procurement services. P2X is building an emission-free society, and its vision is to produce green hydrogen and refine it into biofuels in a cost-effective manner. The framework agreement marks the start of multi-project collaboration covering consultation tasks.
The first project is in Harjavalta, where P2X Solutions is building a green hydrogen plant that will use electricity produced with renewable energy sources. The company announced its investment decision concerning the plant on 2 February 2022. This will be the first industrial-scale green hydrogen production plant in Finland. Green hydrogen is produced completely emission-free through the electrolysis of water. Some of the green hydrogen is combined with P2X’s captured carbon dioxide and further processed into renewable synthetic fuels. The plant’s hydrogen production capacity will be 20 MW.
Construction work on the green hydrogen production plant in the Harjavalta Industrial Park will begin in autumn 2022 and is expected to take roughly six months. Fimpec’s involvement in the project will begin already with the preliminary work and covers responsibility for procurement and scheduling, among other things. Once completed, the Harjavalta facility will reduce Finland’s CO2 emissions by approximately 40,000 metric tonnes per year.
“We are thrilled to be part of a pioneering hydrogen economy project, in which our customer, P2X Solutions, can reap the benefits of our extensive experience in managing construction projects. I am especially pleased with the opportunity to build a solid and mutually beneficial partnership in the context of a long-term framework agreement,” states Jorma Paananen Business Unit Director of Fimpec.
“Fimpec’s professional approach and experience convinced us, and the company will make a very suitable partner that complements our project management operations. In addition, Fimpec’s desire to be part of building an emission-free welfare society was also important to us in our choice of consultant,” says P2X’s CEO Herkko Plit.
The framework agreement also covers future collaborative projects. The agreement covers several years, and the collaboration projects will employ an estimated 5 to 15 Fimpec employees for the foreseeable future.
