Government launches €90 million call for proposals for bio-based CO₂ capture projects
The government is promoting the construction of bio-based carbon dioxide capture capacity with a total of €90 million. On December 11, 2025, the Government issued a decree on the terms and conditions for grants to promote carbon capture in 2026–2032.
Government launches €90 million call for proposals for bio-based CO₂ capture projects
“Finland has a huge competitive advantage. We have clean electricity and bio-based carbon dioxide available for investments that will enable us to break away from our dependence on fossil fuels. The government wants to promote the advancement of these technologies, which strengthen self-sufficiency and reduce emissions. As the geopolitical situation becomes more tense, there is an increasing need for these dependency-reducing solutions and investments, and they should be seen as part of our preparedness,” says Minister of the Environment and Climate Sari Multala.
The grant, which will be available for application in January, will support the first biogenic carbon dioxide capture solutions and their scaling up to industrial scale, as well as accelerate the market-driven advancement of similar solutions. Support may be granted for investments related to biogenic carbon dioxide capture if the captured carbon dioxide is permanently stored (BECCS) or utilised in products (BECCU). In Finland, there is considerable potential for technical sinks and the utilisation of biogenic carbon dioxide.

P2X Solutions is supplying green hydrogen to Finland’s first synthetic kerosene production pilot, which manufactures emission-free aviation fuel, or eSAF. The pilot, led by technology company Liquid Sun, involves Finnair, Finavia, Fortum, and ABB.
Green hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide offer the opportunity to decarbonise sectors such as aviation, where direct electrification is not feasible. eSAF made from hydrogen can be introduced into existing aircraft using the current infrastructure without major changes. Hydrogen enables a rapid and large-scale transition to cleaner aviation.
“The production of eSAF is a huge opportunity for Finland. Across Europe, approximately 46 million tons of aviation fuel are used annually, and Finland has an excellent starting point for eSAF production,” says Herkko Plit, founder and CEO of P2X Solutions. “We have access to abundant emission-free electricity, clean water, biogenic carbon dioxide, and a growing amount of expertise in the production of new-generation fuels.”

Read MoreHydrogen information package from Gasgrid
Gasgrid Finland has published its first hydrogen information package. It aims to meet the market’s information needs on the development of the Finnish hydrogen network and the principles of access and operation. The information package contains, among other things, Gasgrid’s current view on the development of the market, the principles of grid access and the market model for hydrogen pipeline transmission. It also facilitates the collection of feedback from market participants on market needs for network operation and market rules and supports market dialogue from the early stages of market formation.
As we are creating a whole new infrastructure, ecosystem and industry, and a lot is happening in the industry at the same time, Gasgrid considers an active market dialogue and participatory process to be very valuable. Through the Hydrogen Information Packages, Gasgrid can share information with market participants on the development of the Finnish hydrogen network and the wider European market,” says Sara Kärki, Director of Hydrogen Development at Gasgrid.
