P2X Solutions has commenced the construction of an industrial-scale renewable green hydrogen and synthetic methane production facility in Harjavalta, Finland.
This facility is stated to be the country’s first industrial-scale green hydrogen production plant advancing to the construction stage.
The production of green hydrogen involves the use of renewable energy to split water by electrolysis.
Green hydrogen is considered an important power source to aid Europe in putting an end to its reliance on Russian energy and cutting down carbon emissions, reported Reuters.
Although several countries and companies have recently announced investing in green hydrogen production, few plans have progressed to advanced stages.
In 2022, P2X Solutions announced its plan to invest around $76m in the 20MW hydrogen and synthetic methane production plant in Harjavalta.
