From foundation to a mature net-zero ecosystem.
Three parks. One connected ecosystem.
Green Park
Solar, wind and the new 440 kV grid line that power the ecosystem with clean electricity and feed both electrolyzer phases.

Biogenic CO₂ capture, biogas, biocoal and shared processing utilities — the ecosystem's circular backbone.
Read moreFuture Park
Electrolysis, PtX synthesis and Phase-1/Phase-2 methanol production with rail-loaded export logistics.
Read moreSix value chains where Joensuu can lead.
BECCS / CCU
Capture, conditioning and utilization of biogenic CO₂ from Stora Enso (Enocell), Savon Voima and Biokymppi — feedstock for methanol and concrete.
Bio-based downstream
Forest side-streams from UPM Plywood and Binderholz Nordic refined through torrefication into biocoal and engineered wood products.
Power-to-X
Renewable electricity + biogenic CO₂ into hydrogen and e-methanol — the centerpiece of the 2030 and 2040 build-out.
Hydrogen refining
Phase-1 and Phase-2 electrolysis sized to local VRE and the new 440 kV grid connection.
Carbon-negative & circular
Captured biogenic CO₂ bound permanently into concrete and construction materials — circular use of regional carbon.
Non-electricity-intensive fuels
Biogas, biomethane and waste-heat pathways that balance demand on the electricity system — fast value creation.
The cluster scaffolding behind the value chains.
High-voltage capacity for gigawatt-scale electrolysis.
Rail connection for methanol export and liquid CO₂ flows.
Heat recovery and system optimization.
Cluster-based industrial symbiosis.
Skills, R&D and workforce pipeline anchored by the R&D & piloting hub.
Directional scenario — investment, jobs and decarbonized output.
