Sunfire has been selected by P2X Solutions to conduct the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study for the 40 MW hydrogen project in Joensuu, Finland. For this project, P2X Solutions is continuing to utilise the German electrolysis specialist’s industrial pressurised alkaline technology. The companies announced the ongoing collaboration today (8th October) at the World Hydrogen Congress in Copenhagen.
“The FEED study is an important milestone towards the investment decision of our next undertaking in Joensuu, which will triple our total capacity for green hydrogen production” said Herkko Plit, CEO of P2X Solutions. “We are very pleased to tackle this challenge together with Sunfire and its technology.”
Sunfire has already started the comprehensive FEED study, which, in close collaboration with the integration partners, defines the requirements and prerequisites for a 40 MW pressurised alkaline electrolyser. The outcome of the study represents a key milestone on the path to project achievement and ensures effective implementation.
“The commissioning of the Harjavalta plant showcased the strong execution capabilities of P2X Solutions and Sunfire in delivering commercial hydrogen projects” added Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire. “I’m excited that we are now taking our partnership to the next level in Joensuu — as a trusted technology partner alongside P2X Solutions, with a clear mission: to drive the growth of the hydrogen economy in Finland and Europe.”
In Joensuu, the green hydrogen produced by the electrolysis plant will later be used to produce e-methanol - a synthetic fuel that plays a key role in reducing CO₂ emissions, particularly in the shipping and aviation industries.
The successful commissioning of the 20 MW plant in Harjavalta was the first time in Finland, an industrial-scale green hydrogen plant entered commercial operation — marking a historic milestone for the hydrogen market both nationally and across Europe. P2X Solutions relied on Sunfire’s pressurised alkaline technology, a proven solution recognised for its reliability, efficiency, and strong performance. With the new project in Joensuu, both companies aim to build on this success and continue their collaboration.
