The Kotka Project
Arctic Sisu’s first state-of-the-art e-methane production facility is located in Kotka, Southern Finland.
Project Overview
The Kotka project is a planned industrial-scale e-methane production facility located in Southern Finland. It combines renewable hydrogen production with captured biogenic CO₂ to generate drop-in compatible renewable gas for European energy markets.
Designed for integration with local industrial infrastructure, the facility utilizes biogenic CO₂ streams and enables efficient energy exchange. It is intended to operate at large scale, supporting the production of renewable methane that can be transported, stored, and used within existing gas systems without modification.
Project Approach
The Kotka project follows a circular energy model where renewable electricity is used to produce green hydrogen via electrolysis. This hydrogen is combined with captured biogenic CO₂ from nearby industrial processes to synthesize renewable methane through methanation.
The approach emphasizes:
- Industrial integration
- Efficient use of existing infrastructure
- Circular carbon utilization
- Scalable deployment in phases
