Koppö Energia to use thyssenkrupp Uhde’s green methanol technology

Koppö Energia Oy has chosen uhde green methanol technology and ordered a FEED (Front End Engineering Design) from thyssenkrupp Uhde. The planned e-methanol plant is part of a power-to-x (P2X) project developed by Koppö Energia in Kristinestad, Finland. With a planned capacity of 450 metric tons per day (mtpd) of e-methanol in various grades, the different product grades will support the maritime and e-gasoline fuel markets.

While grey methanol is usually produced from natural gas, green methanol—called e-methanol—is produced via direct hydrogenation of CO2. Using uhde green methanol production technology and green hydrogen produced from green electricity and water, the resulting e-methanol has a much lower carbon footprint.

The necessary renewable hydrogen will be produced by a 200MW water electrolysis plant. CO2 will be captured in the city of Vaasa in Finland from a waste incineration facility. It is then liquified and transported via trucks to the P2X facilities.

uhde green methanol technology offers high carbon and hydrogen efficiencies which enhance the project revenues and its feasibility. Due to the patented process scheme, thyssenkrupp Uhde methanol plants have a very low amount of purge gas which significantly reduces the carbon intensity of the facility.
