🇫🇮 Sweco provides engineering services for Norsk e-Fuel’s SAF projects
Engineering and consulting company Sweco has been selected to support Norsk e-Fuel in the development of these SAF production sites in Finland. Sweco will be assisting Norsk e-Fuel by providing them engineering services for the early phase concept development. For instance, this work covers multidisciplinary engineering tasks, focusing on characteristics of green hydrogen production and reliable electricity distribution to the sites. Also permitting services are provided in this partnership, including tasks related to permitting plan and EIA procedures of the planned sites.
Norsk e-Fuel, a project development company with a focus on e-fuel production, plans to deliver fossil-free fuels to the aviation industry to ensure the energy transition in this hard-to-electrify sector. To meet the growing demand of e-fuels, Norsk e-Fuel is building a portfolio of e-Fuel projects, focusing on selecting the ideal locations. After an initial focus on Norway and the project in Mosjøen, Northern Norway, the company has recently announced its expansion into Finland. By securing 14 hectares of land in the Port of Rauma, Norsk e-Fuel is now starting the early development of an e-Fuel plant with up to 100 million liters of production capacity.
Norsk e-Fuel sees Finland as an interesting location for e-fuel production due to several factors. “Finland offers a well-established planning process for electricity access, a societal and political interest in establishing new energy-intensive industries, and the availability of key feedstocks such as biogenic CO2. This makes the country a particularly attractive market”, says Karl Hauptmeier, CEO of Norsk e-Fuel.
“Norsk e-Fuel is an innovative company with a strong plan to produce SAF for the aviation sector. We see that they have the right mindset and needed resources to enter the market, and already the SAF production capacity in Rauma will enable a significant reduction in aviation emissions”, says Tomas Norrena, Hydrogen Business Lead of Sweco.
The Norsk e-Fuel project in Rauma is in its early stages and Norsk e-Fuel has not yet made an investment decision.
