Problem
Hard-to-abate transport sectors such as long-distance heavy-duty vehicles and deep-sea shipping continue to rely on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to global transport emissions. Clean alternatives exist but are often produced at insufficient scale or with high costs, limiting their adoption and impact on reducing carbon footprints.
Solution
Freija produces clean transport fuels, primarily eMethane and eLNG, by combining green hydrogen with captured biogenic CO₂. The company leverages Nordic renewable power, access to clean baseload electricity, and a unique flexible plant design to enable cost-effective, scalable production. Initial production will be in Finland, serving customers in northern continental Europe. Freija aims to replace fossil LNG with carbon-neutral fuels, enabling material emission reductions across heavy-duty and maritime transport without requiring changes to existing engine technology or fuel infrastructure.
Target Audience
Primary customers are heavy-duty vehicle operators for long-distance transport and maritime companies engaged in deep-sea shipping and cruise operations seeking carbon-neutral fuel alternatives.
