Liquid Wind and Alfa Laval, Carbon Clean, Siemens Energy and Topsoe open eFuel Design & Performance Centre
The aim is to drive technological development, strengthen production capacity and bring in-demand eFuels to market at scale.

Liquid Wind and its partners Alfa Laval, Carbon Clean, Siemens Energy and Topsoe will launch the eFuel Design & Performance Centre (DPC) in Hørsholm, Denmark.
The joint eFuel DPC will be the first of its kind and will have a joint R&D department where all five partners will collaborate and innovate to accelerate plant deployment. It will help develop and refine the technical expertise needed to build eMethanol plants quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively for global deployment.
By leveraging partners' innovative technologies and modular solutions, DPC will deliver turnkey eMethanol plants that are faster to manufacture, transport, build and deploy.
DPC will further accelerate the design and commissioning of eFuel plants capable of delivering nominally 100,000 tonnes of eMethanol per year.
Three projects are currently under development in the Nordic countries, of which FlagshipONE is the world's first commercial-scale eMethanol plant, with the aim of developing up to ten more by the end of 2027. The plants will make a significant contribution to the global eMethanol market and to reducing emissions in future hard-to-combat industries such as global shipping.
“There will be no energy transition without green molecules. But for green hydrogen and eFuels to become a sustainable and competitive alternative, we need scalable, standardized, and optimized production facilities. The joint work of all partners in this Design and Performance Centre will make a significant contribution to getting this new industry up and running as quickly as possible,” says Anne-Laure de Chammard, Executive Board Member at Siemens Energy.
