Liquid Wind Unveiled its e-methanol Production Expansion Plan in the Nordics by 2027

Sweden's Liquid Wind, along with energy partners, has announced the expansion of its e-methanol production with ten new facilities in the Nordics by 2027. Formed with companies like Alfa Laval, Carbon Clean, Siemens Energy, and Topsoe, the alliance looks to bolster the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.

This initiative, declared on November 9th, focuses on accelerating the construction of e-methanol plants, aiming for each to produce 100,000 tonnes annually, with a broader vision of launching 80 such plants by 2030. This expansion could significantly cut CO2 emissions, potentially by 14 million tonnes per year.

Liquid Wind's CEO, Claes Fredriksson, is optimistic about the collaboration's progress and its future prospects. The FlagshipONE facility, due to start in 2025, will supply the shipping industry with e-methanol produced from biogenic CO2 and renewable hydrogen.

Carbon Clean, a partner in this venture, has been contracted to provide carbon capture technology essential for the e-methanol process. They have recently demonstrated their technology's value in the UK's consumer products sector, advancing projects that convert waste gases into sustainable materials.

According to the article by Procurement Resource, Liquid Wind and partners plan to build ten e-methanol plants in the Nordics by 2027 to advance renewable energy, targeting an annual output of 100,000 tonnes per plant. The FlagshipONE facility is set to start in 2025, aiding the shipping industry's transition to clean energy. Carbon Clean is contributing carbon capture technology to the initiative, with the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by millions of tonnes annually.
