Global industrial process technologies company Valmet will deliver an automation system for Finland’s first carbon dioxide (CO2) liquefaction facility in Mäntsälä, with a capacity of 3,500 tonnes per annum.
The system will support the CO2 plant at Finnish energy firm Auris Energia’s biogas plant, which is targeting biogenic CO2 capture in 2027 to support domestic decarbonisation efforts across the concrete industry.
Valmet said the project will represent the first deployment of its automation technology at a CO2 liquefaction plant in Finland, increasing the efficiency of CO2 liquefaction using operational data.
In partnership with Auris Energia, Finnish clean technology company Suomen Biovoima Oy will provide biogenic CO2 capture, purification and liquefaction technology at the Mäntsälä plant.
Finnish carbon utilisation technology specialist Carbonaide will store the captured CO2 through CO2 mineralisation in concrete production at its client’s sites.
In February, Auris Energia completed an expansion of its Mäntsälä biogas plant, doubling its annual process capacity from 20,000 to 43,000 tonnes of biodegradable waste.
The expanded facility can produce around 33 GWh of biogas annually for regional and national gas networks.
