The agreement builds on the companies’ existing collaboration at Nordic Ren-Gas’ e-methane plant in Tampere, Finland, where Sunfire is supplying a 50 MW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer.

Under the partnership, Sunfire will be a preferred supplier of electrolysis technology for Nordic Ren-Gas’ future project pipeline. The agreement also reflects Nordic Ren-Gas’ confidence in Sunfire’s recently launched HyLink Alkaline 23 system.

Saara Kujala, CEO of Nordic Ren-Gas, said: “Ren-Gas has developed a fully European value chain for its first e-methane project in Tampere. The value chain enables the production of competitive, renewable e-methane for the European road transportation markets. The support of reliable key equipment partners, such as Sunfire, has been invaluable throughout this journey, and will allow Ren-Gas to scale production across its project portfolio.”

Nordic Ren-Gas’ operating model combines Finnish renewable electricity, sector integration, and flexible operations. Its projects convert renewable hydrogen and captured biogenic CO₂ into renewable e-methane.

Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire, said: “Ren-Gas’ decision to select Sunfire as its long-term electrolysis partner reflects the confidence in our technology, our people, and our ability to deliver industrial-scale hydrogen projects. We look forward to supporting Ren-Gas in its mission to drive industrial decarbonization by enabling cost-competitive e-methane production at scale. Together, we are contributing to a secure, resilient, and sustainable energy supply for Europe.”

The partnership follows Nordic Ren-Gas’ renewable e-methane offtake agreement with avanca/Alternoil, valued at approximately €1 billion. The agreement provides long-term demand visibility for production from the Tampere facility.
