Hycamite breaks ground at Kokkola Industrial Park

Published by , Assistant Editor
Global Hydrogen Review,


Hycamite has begun construction of the new customer sample facility (CSF) building in Kokkola, Finland. The construction phase at Kokkola Industrial Park (KIP) was launched at the beginning of January 2024 after receiving all the necessary permits from the authorities.

No appeals were received by the end of the appeal period. The orders for the equipment were already placed in 2023.

Hycamite’s CSF is intended to demonstrate the viability of the new methane-splitting technology for clean hydrogen and industrial-quality solid carbon production. The nominal capacity of the CSF will reach 2000 tpy of hydrogen and 6000 tpy of high-quality carbon once the project is fully completed.

The decarbonisation capacity of the CSF can be up to 18 000 tpy when LNG is used, and with biomethane, carbon removals can also occur. LNG is shipped from Norway using the Kokkola LNG terminal, and biomethane is provided from Finland.

The new CSF will be built near the Hycamite headquarters and the small test facility. KIP is northern Europe’s largest ecosystem of the inorganic chemical industry, where several companies leading in the chemical and metal processing industries operate.
