Liquid Wind (Gothenburg, Sweden) has announced that Worley (North Sydney, Australia) will provide front-end engineering design (FEED) services for the eMethanol facility which will be constructed in Örnsköldsvik, on the north-east coast of Sweden. They will support the Liquid Wind Consortium to plan the efficient integration of the technology components and the union with the host power station, Övik Energi. Worley brings extensive experience with similar projects, including hydrogen, carbon capture and eFuel. The Consortium also includes Alfa Laval, Carbon Clean, Haldor Topsoe and Siemens Energy.

Liquid Wind plans to establish 500 facilities by 2050 and the collaboration with Worley will support this ambition. Worley will, together with the consortium partners, design a standardised and modular facility concept, that can be efficiently replicated and assembled for subsequent flagships. During the design phase a digital twin will be established using a COMOS engineering database.
“Synthetic fuels will play a significant role in the future of transportation and in the decarbonisation of several other industries,” said Bradley Andrews, President at Worley.
“We are committed to delivering a more sustainable world and we look forward to helping Liquid Wind achieve its sustainability goals and ambitions to bring renewable methanol to market at scale.”
