The City of Pori and the Port of Pori have commissioned Wega to conduct a preliminary study on the construction of an import/export terminal for handling liquid carbon dioxide.
"The CO2 terminal acts as a decisive catalyst in the construction of electric fuel and hydrogen production facilities in Pori. This is also supported by the region's strong energy infrastructure and renewable energy production capacities that are either already under construction or on the drawing board, ensuring Pori's position as a pioneer in the clean transition," Lauri Inna, the City of Pori's Mayor, highlighted.
Earlier, the ports of Pori and Raahe have partnered to make sure the right infrastructure and handling capacities are in place so that the development of Finland's (offshore) wind energy industry isn't hampered, and that renewable energy is available to produce, among others, e-fuels with the use of captured biogenic carbon.
