Saipem S.p.A. (San Donato Milanese, Italy) has been awarded by Ren-Gas (Espoo, Finland) a contract for the Engineering, Procurement and Fabrication (EPF) of its Bluenzyme™ 200 solution, for the carbon capture unit for the Tampere Power-to-Gas project in Finland.
Under the contract, Saipem will deliver the first full-scale carbon capture unit based on its proprietary CO2 Solutions technology by Saipem and industrialized Bluenzyme™ 200 solution. The scope includes engineering, procurement and fabrication activities, as well as advisory services during installation, commissioning, start-up and performance testing.
The carbon capture unit will be integrated into Ren-Gas’ e-methane production facility in Tampere, which is expected to produce approximately 200 GWh per year of renewable synthetic fuel, or e-methane. The fuel will be distributed through existing gas infrastructure for heavy-duty road transport in Germany. The contract will become effective upon Ren-Gas’ final investment decision (FID) for the Tampere e-methane project.
The contract builds on Ren-Gas’ previous selection of Saipem’s proprietary Bluenzyme™ technology for the project’s post-combustion carbon capture unit, announced in December 2024, and further advances the deployment of innovative carbon capture technologies integrated with Power-to-X solutions. The project supports the development of a low-carbon energy ecosystem in Northern Europe.
This award represents a crucial milestone for the technology and further strengthens Saipem’s commitment to provide products and solutions enabling industrial decarbonization and supporting the energy transition.
