Industry based on green electricity, carbon dioxide and hydrogen 

Hydrogen ecosystem in South-East Finland

The industry based on green electricity, hydrogen and carbon dioxide will have significant role in the green transition and economic development in the regions of South Karelia and Kymenlaakso. These regions have significant potential in renewable energy and hydrogen economy. Regions produce majority of green carbon dioxide in Finland, which has changed from emission into potential and strengths that this project will investigate.

Green hydrogen and carbon dioxide to empower South-East Finland project aims to promote the conditions in building of renewable energy and utilization of green hydrogen and carbon dioxide utilization and through that industrial development in South-East Finland. The project promotes the cooperation of actors in the development of the regions and emphasizes their strengths.
