“Liquid Wind granted €3.6 MM in funding for #eFuel project in Sweden” 10/13/2025 “Liquid Wind received support from Industriklivet, the Swedish Energy Agency's program supporting Swedish industry's #greentransition, amounting to €3.6 million (SEK39 million), for the pre-engineering of the company's full-scale #eMethanol plant in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden.” “The project is expected to pave the way for a future investment that will significantly reduce #carbondioxideemissions by replacing #fossilfuels in #hardtoabatesectors such as #shipping, #aviation, and the #chemicalindustry.” "”We are pleased to receive the Industriklivet support for our project in Örnsköldsvik. It represents a strong commitment from the Swedish government that not only accelerates the transition to #fossilfreeeFuel production in Sweden but also sends a powerful signal to international investors and offtakers. It's a clear endorsement of our vision to scale local and resilient eFuel solutions in Europe," says Claes Fredriksson, CEO and founder of Liquid Wind.”” “The planned eFuel facility will be integrated with Övik Energi's #biofuel-powered #combinedheatandpower (#CHP) plant*, creating a highly efficient, and #circularenergysystem. Using #renewableelectricity, the facility will produce #greenhydrogen through #electrolysis and combine it with 150,000 tons captured #biogenicCO2 from the CHP plant to produce 100,000 tons of eMethanol per year, enabling the avoidance of 200,000 tons #CO2e annually.” https://lnkd.in/ewZzmB47?

Hydrogen plays a vital role in Europe’s shift towards clean energy. A prime illustration of this shift is the North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley (NAHV), a collaborative effort between Croatia, Italy’s Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Slovenia. This groundbreaking initiative involves 37 partners and focuses on 17 industrial testbed projects across challenging sectors like energy, mobility (land and maritime transport), manufacturing, waste management, glass production, and steelmaking. The NAHV endeavor integrates research, academia, regulatory bodies, policymakers, and the public to forge a unified approach to renewable hydrogen production and application. #hydrogen #innovation https://lnkd.in/dvYy3YUG

🇳🇱🇪🇺New insights from NLHydrogen and CE Delft : The value of hydrogen for the Netherlands. This is an important systems study exploring the role of hydrogen in a climate neutral Dutch energy system. The report highlights how green hydrogen is not an optional add-on but a core component of the energy transition. 🔍 Key findings Green hydrogen plays a vital role in every scenario towards 2050, even in the most conservative case, demand is around 300 PJ. In the central “Pragmatic Limited” scenario, about 16% of all energy carriers are hydrogen based, equivalent to roughly 500 PJ. Production will mainly come from renewable electricity through electrolysis, complemented by imports and transit of hydrogen carriers such as methanol and ammonia. Hydrogen serves several functions across the energy system: • It provides long-term flexibility and balancing for the power system • It acts as a feedstock and fuel for industry and heavy transport where electrification is difficult • It enables efficient transport of energy across long distances The period to 2035 is identified as decisive for building the hydrogen value chain, creating investment certainty, and bridging the initial funding gap through public support. Without additional policy measures on market design, offtake obligations and demand creation, the Netherlands risks delay and higher long-term costs – the “cost of inaction”. 🛠️ What does this mean for policymakers and businesses? Hydrogen infrastructure for production, storage and transport must be developed in an integrated way, not in isolation. Policy should focus on reducing risks, providing visibility for investors, and stimulating collaboration between market players. Clarity on regulations over time is key for closing commercial off take contracts. 📘 Read the full report here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-C6TJhu And for a look at how large-scale renewable hydrogen is being developed in practice, visit Zeevonk, a Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Vattenfall JV developing 2 GW offshore wind and up to 500 MW electrolysis capacity at the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. #hydrogen #waterstof #wasserstoff #hydrogène #idrogeno #hidrógeno #sustainability #energy

📢 GREAT NEWS! Liquid Wind has been granted €3.6 million (SEK 39 million) from #Industriklivet — the Swedish Energy Agency’s program supporting Swedish industry’s #GreenTransition. The funding will support pre-engineering for our full-scale #eMethanol facility in Örnsköldsvik, which will be integrated with Övik Energi AB’s biofuel-powered combined heat and power plant to form a highly efficient, circular energy system. Once operational, the facility will produce 100,000 tons of eMethanol per year, enabling the avoidance of 200,000 tons of CO₂e annually. 💬 Claes Fredriksson, CEO and founder of Liquid Wind says: “We are pleased to receive the Industriklivet support for our project in Örnsköldsvik. It represents a strong commitment from the Swedish government that not only accelerates the transition to fossil-free eFuel production in Sweden but also sends a powerful signal to international investors and offtakers.

I’m very happy to share some major news from Liquid Wind. Industriklivet — the Swedish Energy Agency’s program supporting industry’s green transition — has approved our grant application and awarded us €3.6 million. This is a big step in the right direction, not only for our #eFuel facility in Örnsköldsvik, but for the clean fuels transition as a whole. It reinforces Liquid Wind’s work to scale up #eMethanol production and highlights how the energy sector can play a pivotal role in reducing emissions from hard-to-abate industries. The support strengthens our work to turn captured CO₂ into eMethanol, accelerating the shift away from fossil fuels. A huge thanks to everyone involved — and especially to the team who drove the grant process with such dedication and precision. #CCU is a key enabler for reducing emissions, and it’s encouraging to see such strong commitment from Sweden to push this technology forward.

Liquid Wind receives €3.6 million Industriklivet grant for eMethanol project in Örnsköldsvik Liquid Wind, a Gothenburg-based eFuel developer, has been awarded €3.6 million from Industriklivet, the Swedish Energy Agency’s program for industrial decarbonization, to support the pre-engineering phase of its planned eMethanol plant in Örnsköldsvik. The facility will be integrated with Övik Energi AB’s biofuel-powered combined heat and power (CHP) plant, using renewable electricity to produce hydrogen and combining it with captured biogenic CO₂ to generate approximately 100,000 tons of eMethanol annually. The project is expected to inform an investment decision and contribute to the reduction of fossil fuel use in sectors such as shipping, aviation, and chemicals. Industriklivet, part of the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), supports projects that advance Sweden’s transition toward lower carbon emissions and sustainable industrial practices. https://lnkd.in/dVN6iTnQ #nordicmade #sweden #funding #energytech #climatetech #cleantech #greentech #sustainability #trending Credit: Övik Energi

Australia’s Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has opened the second round of its #Hydrogen Headstart Program, offering up to A$2 billion [US $1.3 billion] in new funding to drive large-scale renewable hydrogen production and accelerate commercial deployment across the country. “ARENA is aiming to bridge the gap between ambition and reality,” said Darren Miller, CEO of ARENA. “We know that #renewablehydrogen will play a critical role in decarbonising heavy industry, particularly in sectors where electrification is not feasible or alternatives are limited.” This latest funding round focuses on projects that cut the cost of hydrogen production, improve electrolyser efficiency, and enhance hydrogen use in key industrial sectors — including green ammonia, iron and steel, alumina, aviation, and long-haul shipping. It also targets innovative plant design and flexible operations to make renewable hydrogen more competitive against fossil-based fuels. ARENA’s initiative comes as Australia seeks to solidify its role as a global hydrogen powerhouse. Since 2016, the agency has invested A$370 million [US $240 million] in over 65 hydrogen projects — from R&D to full-scale demonstrations — helping lay the foundation for a domestic supply chain capable of serving both local industries and export markets.
