Sunfire successfully installs Finland’s first industrial-scale electrolysis plant.
A year after the groundbreaking ceremony, Finland’s first industrial-scale electrolysis plant was installed in Harjavarta. Project partners expect green hydrogen production in the second half of this year. A sales contract has already been signed.
The Harjabarta electrolysis plant represents a lighthouse hydrogen project in Europe. With the upcoming commissioning of his 20 MW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer in Sunfire, project developer His P2X Solutions will set a milestone towards the launch of a green hydrogen market in Finland.

The project has a number of intermediate milestones towards opening Finland’s green hydrogen economy, and inevitably completing the electrolyzer installation will be one of the key steps towards the completion of the overall project. Masu.
Green hydrogen is used in various applications in the chemical industry. To this end, German electrolyzer company Sunfire has also designed a pressurized alkaline plant for methanation to produce renewable synthetic methane from carbon dioxide and green hydrogen.
Last November, P2X Solutions entered into an offtake agreement with Danisco Sweeteners, a subsidiary of U.S.-based International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. 1) Danisco Sweeteners uses green hydrogen at its factory in Kotka, Finland to reduce the CO2 emissions of its cars. Production of xylitol for the food industry.
Sunfire has successfully completed the installation of the pressurized alkaline electrolyzer and is preparing to commission the plant in the coming months. The first green hydrogen production at the Harjabalta plant is scheduled for the second half of this year. At full capacity, Finland’s first large-scale electrolyser will produce up to 400 kg of green hydrogen per hour using renewable energy from wind turbines.
Nils AldagSunfire’s CEO points out:
Green hydrogen will play a key role in transforming the chemical sector. We are honored to be part of this pioneering project with P2X Solutions. This project will see our pressurized alkaline electrolyser operated on an industrial scale.
“We are particularly happy that our ‘Made in Europe’ electrolysis technology can contribute to Finland’s energy history. We need more lighthouse projects like this, especially in Europe.”
The Finnish government is supporting the project, with the Ministry of Economy and Employment and the Finnish Climate Fund providing a total of 36 million euros. P2X Solutions plans to invest a total of approximately 70 million euros.
