GOTHENBURG, Sweden, May 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- FlagshipTWO, Sweden's second large-scale production
facility of green electrofuel (eMethanol), has received the
environmental permit for its planned operations in Sundsvall,
Sweden. The facility is developed
by Liquid Wind and is one of the largest industrial investments to
date in Sundsvall, expected to be ready for production in
2027.
The Land and Environmental Court in Östersund has granted an
environmental permit for FlagshipTWO, Liquid Wind's second eFuel
project, for the production of eMethanol. The facility, located at
Sundsvall Energi's Korstaverket, has been granted approval to
produce up to 130,000 tons of eMethanol annually by applying its
innovative Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology. Liquid
Wind aims for FlagshipTWO to become a leading player in the
industrialization of CCU, both in Sweden and internationally.
Claes Fredriksson, CEO and
founder of Liquid Wind, comments:
"We have reached yet another milestone on Liquid Wind's journey
and ambition to reduce dependency on fossil fuel in hard-to-abate
sectors, such as long-distance shipping. We are very pleased with
this confirmation, which means that FlagshipTWO will become
Europe's largest production
facility of eFuels and further support the green
transition."
Anders Jonsson, CEO of
Sundsvall Energi, adds:
"We congratulate Liquid Wind on the received environmental
permit, and we will continue to investigate the possibility of
establishing Sundsvall as a hub for the production of future
fuels."
FlagshipTWO and Liquid Wind's project pipeline of an additional
10 facilities by 2027 will be key contributors to the
decarbonization of the maritime sector, and will help secure
Swedish production to meet an accelerating demand for green fuels
globally.
