Kanteleen Voima is the owner of NordFuel, and Piipsan Tuulivoima is part of the Puhuri group.
Claes Fredriksson , CEO and Founder of Liquid Wind, says:
"We are excited to announce the development of our first project in Finland, together with NordFuel and Puhuri. Liquid Wind is focused on leading the development and production of green electrofuel. The electrofuel produced in Haapavesi will be used to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries like shipping; with the facility in Finland, we are one step closer to seeing a world without dependency on fossil fuels."
Matti Asikainen , CEO of NordFuel, says:
"We are glad to cooperate with Liquid Wind, one of the most significant actors in the field of electrofuels. Circular economy and zero-waste principle are in the core of NordFuel's business idea.
