Sweco to Design Ren-Gas’s Renewable E-Methane Production Plant in Tampere

28.10.2024

Sweco will design Ren-Gas’s e-methane production plant, which will be built near the Tarastenjärvi power plant, northeast of Tampere. The location allows for the delivery of carbon dioxide from a nearby power plant, and the integration of district heating for the utilization of waste heat. The plant has been granted a valid environmental permit, and the construction of the project is scheduled for 2025–2027. Upon completion, the Tampere production plant will produce renewable fuel for approximately 600 heavy vehicles and a significant amount of renewable district heating for the residents of Tampere.

“Ren-Gas’s e-methane production plant in Tampere will be a significant milestone in implementing green transition investments in Finland. Ren-Gas will build several e-methane production plants in Finland in the coming years, so the safety and modularity of the plant concept will be the cornerstones of the design. We appreciate Sweco’s expertise in the hydrogen sector and the company’s extensive and skilled resources, which will support the implementation of Ren-Gas’s production portfolio,” says Saara Kujala, CEO of Ren-Gas.

“We are excited to be involved in designing a new type of e-methane production plant in Tampere that utilizes carbon capture and utilization methods. These are crucial in reducing industrial emissions. It is great that our hydrogen expertise is trusted, and we are part of implementing Ren-Gas’s ambitious goal of building a production network,” says Tuomas Salminen, Division Director, Industry and Energy at Sweco.
