P2X Solutions, a Finnish pioneer in green hydrogen and Power-to-X technology, intends to build Finland’s first green hydrogen production plant in Harjavalta. When commissioned, the facility will produce green hydrogen for e.g. industrial needs by using electricity produced from renewable energy sources.

The planned production facility has a capacity of 20 MW and generates oxygen and thermal energy needed by industries.

The plant’s Front-end Engineering Design will be completed by the end of 2021. P2X Solutions has applied investment support from national grant mechanisms for the first plant. The support decision is expected in autumn 2021, and an investment decision thereafter before the end of this year. Following a positive investment decision, the company will begin detailed planning and procurement of the Harjavalta plant.

The goal is to start construction work in Harjavalta in autumn 2022 and to commission the plant in the first half of 2024. In addition to the plant to be implemented in Harjavalta, P2X Solutions aims to promote the Finnish hydrogen economy with several production plants and possibly also replicate projects abroad.

According to the City of Harjavalta, the project is most welcome to the local industry, and it is seen as an important step in climate work on the way to reach the city’s goal of carbon neutrality.

“The City of Harjavalta welcomes P2X Solutions to join the city’s diverse, dynamic and further developing Industrial Park. In Harjavalta, the process initiated by business services company Prizztech reaching out to P2X Solutions, is now leading to a great result. This project is an important stage on our way to an emission-free welfare society”, said Hannu Kuusela, Mayor of Harjavalta .
