NordFuel
NordFuel Oy is planning to build a biorefinery that would produce ethanol fuel from wood next to the Kanteleen Voima’s power plant in Haapavesi. The refinery would produce lignin and biogas as well as bio-based carbon dioxide, as by-products. The operation of the existing power plant would be changed into an energy center of the biorefinery, which would produce the heating and cooling energy needed by the site.
