Northern Green Fuels Oy is shaping a more sustainable future by integrating biomass, renewable hydrogen, and cutting-edge technology in its production processes.
We are developing a network of renewable green methanol and SAF aviation fuel plants across Finland. These fuels offer cleaner alternatives to traditional fossil fuels.
A Unique Green Methanol Production Concept
A combination of three proven technologies:
- Up to 86% reduction in CO₂ emissions
- Driven by consumer demand and international regulation, there is a strong shift toward renewable fuels in both maritime and aviation sectors.
- In the EU, emissions trading also applies to shipping. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has signed a global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport, with a goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
SAF – The Aviation Fuel of the Future
From Methanol to SAF
SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil-based alternatives.
- Hydrogen is liquefied into methanol, which can be further processed into SAF during production.
Benefits
- Enables carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative SAF production
- Suitable as a drop-in fuel with no changes needed to existing aircraft
- Utilizes CO₂ emissions as a feedstock
Building a More Sustainable World
Our production is based on a sustainable and environmentally friendly process:
- Biomass gasification is combined with hydrogen produced using clean electricity
- EU emissions trading also regulates the shift in aviation fuels
- 3–5 production plants are planned in Finland, some including SAF production
- The international CORSIA system guides the global transition toward clean aviation fuels
Northern Green Fuels Oy is developing and constructing renewable methanol and SAF production plants in Finland and internationally.
Data centers will also be co-located at plant sites.
