The P2X Solutions Oy wants to build the first plant for the production of green hydrogen in Finland in Harjavalta. The capacity is 20 megawatts. The city welcomes the project. The design of the facility will be completed by the end of 2021. P2X Solutions has applied for investment support through national grant mechanisms for the first plant. The decision on funding is expected in autumn 2021, with the investment decision before the end of this year. After a positive investment decision, the company will begin detailed planning and procurement of the Harjavalta plant. The aim is to start construction work in autumn 2022 and to put the system into operation in the first half of 2024.

In the current market ramp-up phase of hydrogen production, this is limiting Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) the EEG surcharge for the electrochemical production of hydrogen - both in electrolysis with conventional electricity and in electrolysis using renewable energies. Companies in the “manufacture of industrial gases” sector can submit an application to BAFA for a limit on the EEG surcharge by September 30, 2021. The limitation takes effect from the first kilowatt hour and reduces the EEG levy to 15 percent or less, depending on whether other requirements are met.
