Mo i Rana has committed land for the eFuels project and renewable power required to produce green hydrogen as a feedstock for the Infinium process.
Mo Industrial Park is the leading industrial development zone in Northern Norway. 110 businesses occupy the park, ranging from recycled steel product manufacturers to industrial laboratories. In total, around 2900 people work within the companies in the industry park, which is known for its ambitious goals relating to climate, sustainability, and the circular economy.
Infinium has previously announced eFuels projects in South Texas and West Texas in the US, with offtake commitments from Amazon and American Airlines respectively, and in Dunkirk, France, in partnership with Engie. The new Norwegian project will have the capacity to produce an initial 2000 bpd of eFuels including eSAF, eDiesel and eNaphtha with the capacity to expand. Infinium has more than a dozen projects in development globally.
“The industry in Mo Industrial Park provides ample access to the CO2 we use as a feedstock in our proprietary production process and its leaders have a very clear vision and a well-developed and sophisticated plan for achieving emissions reductions,” said Robert Schuetzle, CEO at Infinium. “The synergies of our partnership will allow Mo i Rana to play a leading and decisive role in advancing the development of eFuels in Europe.”
“Carbon capture, utilisation and storage will provide solutions for strengthening our existing industry as well as offer competitive advantages for new industrial projects. We see eFuels as valuable and innovative solutions to reduce the overall CO2 impact of the park while also helping reduce transport emissions in sectors that are particularly challenged,” said Arve Ulriksen, CEO of Mo Industrial Park. “Infinium was the obvious partner for us. We look forward to leading the development of the eFuels industry in Norway and supporting Europe’s efforts to achieve net zero.”

The EIA reports that US distillate consumption so far this year is lower than usual because of warm winter weather, reduced manufacturing activity, and continued substitution of biofuels in place of petroleum distillate on the US West Coast (PADD 5).
