LUT University and a group of companies have started a feasibility study for a synthetic fuels pilot production plant. The intended industrial scale pilot facility is based on power-to-x technology, and it would be located in Joutseno, Eastern Finland. The target is to produce carbon neutral fuels for transportation.
"The use of fossil oil and gas as transportation fuels is coming to an end. They need to be replaced with carbon neutral fuels, and in this way set the CO2 emissions caused by transportation to zero", says Petteri Laaksonen, Research Director at LUT School of Energy Systems.
