Summary
The research examined selected industrial regions, including Naantali, Rauma, Nokia, Oulu-Raahe, Kemi-Tornio, Joensuu and Lappeenranta, assessing their readiness to host hydrogen production, utilise by-products such as oxygen and waste heat, and integrate renewable energy at scale.
The study finds that many Finnish industrial parks already offer strong conditions for hydrogen investments thanks to existing ports, energy infrastructure, and industrial clusters. Coastal regions such as Rauma, Naantali, and Kemi-Tornio have clear advantages in logistics and access to export markets, while cities like Lappeenranta stand out for their research expertise and access to biogenic CO₂.
The results also underline Finland’s opportunity to strengthen industrial symbiosis, linking hydrogen production with other processes that can utilise its by-products. This includes using waste heat for district heating networks and oxygen in industrial or environmental applications.
