Beginning of July, the Swedish government announced that the #EU has approved €3 billion (SEK 36 billion) Swedish state aid for the roll-out of biogenic #CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) that will be distributed between the years 2026 and 2046, with the aim of creating negative emissions. #CCU (Carbon Capture and Utilisation), where biogenic carbon dioxide is captured and used, such as in the production of #fossilfree #eFuel in Liquid Wind developed facilities, can contribute to lower emissions by replacing fossil fuels. To ensure the development of renewable eFuels, we would like to see: 📗 Equal or even same support for CCU. 🌍 To reach #Sweden's climate targets, both #CCS and #CCU are needed and should not be competing each other. 🏭 Sweden can benefit from the #CO2 we have in the country rather than paying to have it stored in other countries.

We are pleased to share Liquid Wind's Annual Report 2023 with you. This past year has been a great journey of growth, with many things coming together for the company: Ørsted broke ground on our first #eFuel facility project, #FlagshipONE, in Örnsköldsvik. We submitted environmental permit applications for our Swedish projects, #FlagshipTWO in Sundsvall and #FlagshipTHREE in Umeå, and signed a collaboration agreement for our first facility in Finland. At the end of the year, we strengthened our partnership with key partners Alfa Laval, Carbon Clean, Siemens Energy and Topsoe. The intensified collaboration aims to further reduce the time, cost, and risk of developing and implementing eFuel facilities. The international traction for green #methanol has surged, with over 300 methanol dual-fuel vessels ordered in 2023, underscoring our role in the transition to climate-neutral fuels. The maritime industry’s shift is a testament to the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions. 🚢🌱 By gradually expanding our team, we are even better positioned to bring green fuel to market at scale. By the end of 2023, we employed 60 people, which means we are set up to execute more #netzero projects across multiple markets at an accelerated pace, in the years to come. Discover the full extent of our journey and learn more about how we are committed to taking action NOW, to do our part to stop the trend of #globalwarming.

During a Garden Talk on #electrofuels and breaking fossil dependency, arranged by Rud Pedersen Public Affairs Sweden, the critical role of #electrofuels in the #greentransition was discussed. Sweden has excellent potential for domestic production of #efuels, which can strengthen our country’s #fuel readiness and create a new export industry. Key Takeaways: 🌱 Domestic resilience: Supply readiness through local production of fossil-free fuels, with efuels that can meet NATO requirements. 💶 Closing the price gap: It's essential to close the price gap between fossil and fossil-free fuels to drive adoption and competitiveness. 📊 Strategic planning for hydrogen: Sweden needs a comprehensive plan for hydrogen development and incentives for municipalities to invest in wind power necessary for producing fossil-free electricity. 🌎 International competitiveness: How does Sweden measure up? Finland is pushing ahead aggressively, while Norway is focusing on ammonia as an alternative fuel.

New, innovative companies play a crucial role in driving the #greentransition. Sweden is a leader in #climate innovations, but what is needed for these #innovations to reach their full potential? How do we best support and promote the development of more Swedish, climate-oriented #startups? 🇸🇪 🙌   These were the topics explored during a discussion arranged by SISP - Swedish Incubators & Science Parks in #Almedalen, yesterday.    Here are our main takeaways from the event: 💪 Large companies can help startups by: - Scaling sales - Contributing with knowledge - Providing expertise in the board - Investing in them   💡 What the Swedish government can do: - The government and startups need to collaborate, learning from how other countries do it. - Sweden needs an innovation strategy; we must think long-term. - Promote research collaborations with startups. - Incentivize entrepreneurship.   💚 Thank you for a dynamic and productive panel: Annika Remaeus, Uppsala kommun Berfin Roza Mert, Bower Daniel Vencu Velasquez Castro, Socialdemokraterna Emma Adlerton, Alfa Laval Nastaran Baleng-Soultani, RadCap Siduri Poli, Nordic Angels Vahid Sohrabpour🍀, Saveggy  and Jonas Michanek, SISP - Swedish Incubators & Science Parks, for the moderation!

Bio-CCS or bio-CCU: What's the best use for the green carbon atoms from the forest? This was the theme of a discussion organized by Skogsindustrierna in #Almedalen. Key takeaways: ✅  20 million tons of biogenic CO2 annually can be collected from Sweden's pulp and paper mills. The concentration of large point emissions makes this an efficient capture opportunity. ✅ Biogenic CO2 is an important resource to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and Sweden has the potential to become a leader in #fossilfree #electrofuel production. ✅ The upcoming Swedish support for bio-CCS should be extended to also include bio-CCU. Let the market compete for the support on equal terms!

Yesterday in #Almedalen, Liquid Wind's CEO and founder, Claes Fredriksson, participated in a panel discussion hosted by Ramboll Sweden: "A Nordic market for green hydrogen and e-fuels is emerging – what challenges and opportunities does it present?". The seminar highlighted the critical role of #greenhydrogen and #PowerToX in reducing #carbonemissions, presenting a promising market opportunity expected to reach 530 million tons by 2050. 🔍 Key Takeaways: ✅ Growing Interest: The enthusiasm for #efuels and #hydrogen has significantly increased compared to 2023. ✅ Renewable Energy: While #renewableenergy infrastructure is easier to build, obtaining permits remains challenging. ✅ Sweden’s Strengths: - Abundant renewable energy and access to inexpensive electricity - Strategic ports - Availability of biogenic CO2 💡 Challenges: - Competition with fossil fuels: Despite the benefits of e-fuels, they are still competing with the low prices of fossil fuels. - Geopolitical Influences: The current geopolitical climate underscores the critical nature of infrastructure, price volatility, and supply chain issues. There is a noticeable trend towards deglobalization. - Skill Shortages: Addressing the skills gap in the green transition through education and training is essential. 🤝 Nordic Collaboration: - Harmonization of regulations. - Development of infrastructure for production and distribution. We would like to thank the participants for the interesting discussion! 🌱 Anette Seger, Linus Helming and Simon Jansson Ek, Ramboll Sweden Marlene Burwick, St1 Sverige AB Björn Santana Arvidsson, Nordion Energi Stefan Savonen, LKAB Emelie Zakrisson, OX2

Last week Liquid Wind hosted a climate mingle in the city of #Sundsvall, home to our #eFuel facility, #FlagshipTWO. 🌱 Thank you everyone who attended, and special thanks to Niklas Säwén, Chairman of the Municipal Board, who gave an inspiring speech on the city's green industrial transition, joined by Anders Jonsson, CEO of Sundsvall Energi. Together with Sundsvalls Energi, Liquid Wind is developing one of the world's first large-scale facilities for the production of #fossilfree #electrofuel, FlagshipTWO. We believe that Sundsvall and the Västernorrland county have the potential to become a world-leading hub for eFuels. ➡ If you would like to turn your biogenic #CO2 emissions into eFuel, contact us here https://lnkd.in/eztPMuY. #circulareconomy #sustainability #decarbonization #greentransition #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #innovation #electrification #CCU #CCUS Västernorrland County Council Länsstyrelsen Västernorrland Sundsvalls kommun
