Carbon Capture Facility Planned in Pursiala, Mikkeli

Nordic Ren-Gas and ESE-Energia Oy are exploring the construction of a carbon capture facility in the vicinity of the Pursiala power plant. The objective is to capture a significant volume of biogenic carbon dioxide annually from the Pursiala power plant. Potential applications for the captured biogenic carbon dioxide include Ren-Gas’ possible Power-to-Gas project in Mikkeli, Ren-Gas e-methane projects elsewhere in Finland, as well as other carbon utilization purposes.

The project is being advanced in close cooperation with ESE-Energia Oy. The planned location for the facility is near ESE-Energia’s Pursiala power plant, enabling both the delivery of carbon dioxide and integration with the district heating network.

In addition to the carbon capture facility, Ren-Gas will continue its collaboration with the City of Mikkeli and ESE-Energia on the potential development of a Power-to-Gas plant. According to the project plan, the carbon capture equipment would be situated in connection with the Pursiala power plant, while a suitable location within ESE’s district heating network area is being identified for potential hydrogen and e-methane production.

Nordic Ren-Gas Oy is a Finnish power-to-gas developer accelerating the cost-effective decarbonisation of the traffic and energy sector by developing a sector coupled clean power-to-gas production network in Finland. The renewable fuels produced by Ren-Gas will cut the use of fossil-based diesel fuel in the heavy duty traffic by some 250 million litres a year, which represents approximately a fifth of the fuel consumption of heavy duty traffic. The renewable power-to-gas fuel will reduce carbon dioxide emission in the transport and energy sectors by more than a million tonnes per annum. Ren-Gas’s energy source for its power-to-gas fuels is new Finnish wind power.
