Nordic Ren-Gas Announces Partnership Agreement with Sunfire

Partnership Agreement Supports Large-Scale Green Hydrogen and E-Methane Production Across Europe

Dresden / Tampere, July 22, 2026 – Nordic Ren-Gas, Finland’s leading e-methane developer, and Sunfire, a leading global electrolysis company, today announced a long-term partnership agreement. Under the agreement, Sunfire will serve as a preferred supplier of electrolysis technology for Ren-Gas’ green hydrogen and e-methane projects.

By selecting Sunfire as a preferred supplier, Ren-Gas is strengthening the technology foundation for its future project pipeline. The agreement builds on the companies’ existing collaboration at Ren-Gas’ e-methane plant in Tampere, Finland, where Sunfire is supplying a 50 MW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer.

Saara Kujala, CEO of Nordic Ren-Gas, states: “Ren-Gas has developed a fully European value chain for its first e-methane project in Tampere. The value chain enables the production of competitive, renewable e-methane for the European road transportation markets. The support of reliable key equipment partners, such as Sunfire, has been invaluable throughout this journey, and will allow Ren-Gas to scale production across its project portfolio.”

Leveraging Finland’s strong renewable power conditions and connectivity to the European markets, and the business model based on sector integration, and a flexible operations model, Ren-Gas is demonstrating how industrial decarbonization can be achieved both at scale and economically. The signed partnership agreement reflects the company’s confidence in Sunfire’s recently launched HyLink® Alkaline 23 system, which provides the foundation for the successful deployment of bankable green hydrogen projects.

Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire, underlines: “Ren-Gas’ decision to select Sunfire as its long-term electrolysis partner reflects the confidence in our technology, our people, and our ability to deliver industrial-scale hydrogen projects. We look forward to supporting Ren-Gas in its mission to drive industrial decarbonization by enabling cost-competitive e-methane production at scale. Together, we are contributing to a secure, resilient, and sustainable energy supply for Europe.”

For Sunfire, the partnership marks another important step in strengthening its position in Finland’s hydrogen market, building on the company’s contribution to the country’s first industrial-scale green hydrogen project in Harjavalta. Across Europe, Sunfire’s electrolyzers are deployed in major industrial hydrogen projects, including triple-megawatt installations in Germany and Spain.

The partnership follows another major milestone for Ren-Gas. Earlier this month, the company announced a renewable e-methane offtake agreement valued at approximately EUR 1 billion with avanca/Alternoil. The agreement is among the largest commercial e-methane arrangements announced in Europe to date and provides long-term demand visibility for production from the Tampere facility.
