P2X Solutions Oy has begun delivering domestically produced renewable e-methane into Finland’s gas network, with Gasgrid having issued Finland’s first guarantees of origin for e-methane produced at P2X Solutions’ plant. The gas is also being delivered to European markets via the Balticconnector.
Guarantees of origin are currently the only way to demonstrate to the market that the e-methane has been produced from renewable energy sources. By achieving this guarantee from Gasgrid, P2X Solutions also lays the foundation for a future hydrogen-based economy.
Herkko Plit, CEO of P2X Solutions, stated: “The start of deliveries provides concrete proof that there is demand in Europe for synthetic fuels produced using renewable hydrogen, and that the hydrogen economy has moved from plans to reality. This is a significant milestone, as e-methane produced in Finland is now being delivered beyond the country’s borders to customers for the first time. Guarantees of origin issued for e-methane further enhance market transparency and reinforce Finland’s role as a producer of clean, renewable fuels.”
Mika Myötyri, Vice President responsible for gas market and customers in Gasgrid, commented: “This marks a significant milestone in the renewable gas market, as there is demand for domestically produced renewable gases. The development of the renewable gas market requires both physical gas infrastructure and reliable commercial systems. The start of e-methane transmission on the network and the first guarantees of origin show that the renewable gas market is continuing to develop. In addition to the growing supply of biomethane, the market now offers e-methane produced from renewable hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide.”
