Finland’ s fledgling industrial-scale H2 sector continues to grow
P2X Solutions Oy Solutions has awarded Sunfire a contract to conduct the Front-End Engineering Design( FEED) study for a 40 MW hydrogen project in Joensuu, Finland. The new project builds on the success of the companies’ previous collaboration at P2X Solutions’ Harjavalta facility, where Finland’ s first industrial-scale green hydrogen production was achieved earlier this year.

At the start of the year, P2X Solutions and Sunfire marked a historic milestone with the first industrial-scale green hydrogen production in Finland’ s energy history. Building on this achievement, the two hydrogen pioneers are now further strengthening their partnership: 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 leverage the German electrolysis specialist’ s industrial

pressurised alkaline technology. The companies announced the ongoing collaboration today at the World Hydrogen Congress in Copenhagen. Herkko Plit, CEO of P2X Solutions, underlines:“ 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. We are very pleased to tackle this challenge together with Sunfire and its technology.” Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire, states:“ The commissioning of the Harjavalta plant showcased the strong execution capabilities of P2X Solutions and Sunfire in delivering commercial hydrogen projects. 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.”
Milestone for project implementation 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 realization and ensures effective implementation.
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 CO 2 emissions, particularly in the shipping and aviation industries.
Shared vision The collaboration between Sunfire and P2X Solutions reflects a pioneering spirit, hands-on hydrogen expertise and strong commitment to delivering results. A standout result of the close collaboration between the two companies is the successful commissioning of the 20 MW plant in Harjavalta. For 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. Alexander Stubb, President of the Republic of Finland, personally recognised the accomplishment and congratulated the partners involved. At the Harjavalta plant, 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.
