Liquid Wind aims to supply the marine shipping industry with green electro-fuel – eMethanol – through large-scale production.
The company is now taking the next step by establishing a third eFuel facility – FlagshipTHREE – in collaboration with the energy company Umeå Energi AB in Sweden.
AFRY provided basic engineering for the balance of plant for Liquid Wind’s second eFuel facility in Sweden – FlagshipTWO in Sundsvall.
FlagshipTHREE will be able to capture 230,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and supply 100,000 tonnes of fossil-free fuel per year to the shipping industry.
We have a good collaboration with AFRY that we are happy to deepen. For us, it is important to have a partner that has the required wide of expertise. The need for CO2-neutral marine fuels is significant. Today, 99.9 percent of the fuel used by the maritime sector is based on fossil raw materials, which is why our investments are urgent and require collaboration with actors with deep knowledge and a strong focus on sustainability, said Claes Fredriksson, CEO and Founder of Liquid Wind.
AFRY’s assignment in the FlagshipTHREE project includes basic engineering for the balance of plant, which includes project management and adaptation and integration of the electrofuel facility with the energy company Umeå Energi’s plant.
AFRY will also deliver several services within process, electrical, automation, instrumental, piping, mechanical, civil and HVAC.
In addition, AFRY prepares all technical documentation for the environmental permit process. AFRY’s assignment has already started and is expected to be completed in 2024.
We are proud to be part of Liquid Wind’s journey in their ambitions to contribute to a climate-neutral shipping industry with more than ten planned electrofuel facilities in the Nordics by 2030. Our experience from previous Flagship projects and continuous collaboration with Liquid Wind will enable even better performance from the project teams, said Lisa Vedin, Head of Process Industries Sweden at AFRY.
