Uniper submits environmental permit application for e-methanol project in Sweden
NorthStarH2 facility will use renewable electricity and biogenic carbon dioxide to produce e-methanol, a synthetic fuel that can be used in shipping and aviation, as well as a feedstock in the chemical industry.
German energy company Uniper on Monday (9 November) said it has submitted an environmental permit application for its planned NorthStarH2 e-methanol project in Östersund, Sweden.
The application was submitted to the Land and Environment Court in Östersund on 6 November, seeking approval to construct and operate a facility with a production capacity of up to 130,000 tonnes of e-methanol annually. Uniper expects the plant to produce around 115,000 metric tonnes (mt) per year.
NorthStarH2 will use renewable electricity and biogenic carbon dioxide to produce e-methanol, a synthetic fuel that can be used in shipping and aviation, as well as a feedstock in the chemical industry.
The project could also enable the reuse of around 160,000 mt of biogenic carbon dioxide annually.
