This order is a milestone in ANDRITZ's strategy to become one of the world's leading industrial partners for the construction of large hydrogen plants.

The 200 MW plant will be built in Kristinestad, Finland as part of a Power-to-X project. The customer, Koppö Energia, is a joint venture between Prime Capital, a renowned asset manager based in Germany specializing in alternative energy projects, and CPC Finland, a subsidiary of the project developer and green electricity producer CPC Germania.

ANDRITZ's front-end engineering design will include the complete hydrogen plant with HydrogenPro alkaline electrolyzer technology. Based on the design, the joint venture plans to award the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the hydrogen production facility in early 2024.

ANDRITZ CEO Joachim Schönbeck said: “Green hydrogen will play an essential role in the energy transition. We are very pleased about our first order in this area and are confident that we can contribute to the success of this project based on our many years of experience in the implementation of large-scale projects.”

“We carried out a careful selection process before awarding the FEED contracts for our energy transition project. ANDRITZ convinced us with its comprehensive solution and its competence in system integration ," says Thomas Zirngibl, Member of the Board of Directors, Koppö Energia Oy.

The hydrogen in Kristinestad is produced using renewable energy, mainly wind power. Up to 500 MW of wind power and 100 MW of photovoltaics will be developed as part of the Koppö Energy Cluster to power the hydrogen plant.

Hydrogen produced with renewable energy sources is considered to be an almost CO 2 -free energy carrier and is therefore an important component in the fight against climate change. The green hydrogen produced in Kristinestad will be processed into sustainable liquefied synthetic methane (SLSM) to be used as a fuel for heavy goods vehicles.

In general, green hydrogen and its derivatives are expected to replace fossil fuels on a large scale in the future, especially when it comes to energy-intensive industries with emissions that are difficult to reduce, such as steel, cement and chemicals, as well as shipping and truck transport.
