Wasaline\u2019s hybrid ferry, Aurora Botnia, is already equipped with dual-fuel engines and batteries. The company\u2019s goal is to fully decarbonize their ferry operations between Vaasa in Finland and Ume\u00e5 in Sweden.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Claes Fredriksson<\/strong>, CEO and Founder of Liquid Wind, says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to partner with Wasaline to power the Aurora Botnia ferry with eMethanol. The Letter of Intent showcases the strong possibilities and growing demand for eFuels in the Nordics and beyond. Together with Ume\u00e5 Energi, we are now putting local and regional infrastructure and supply in place, in Northern Sweden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jan Ridfeldt<\/strong>, CEO of Ume\u00e5 Energi, continues:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am delighted that we are expanding our alliance with Liquid Wind and welcoming Wasaline to our esteemed list of partners. This cross-border collaboration is pivotal for us as we strive to make the essential shift towards a sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter St\u00e5hlberg<\/strong>, Managing Director of Wasaline, continues:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Together with Liquid Wind and Ume\u00e5 Energi, we are investigating the possibilities and challenges in decarbonizing our route as part of a green corridor between Vaasa and Ume\u00e5. By using eMethanol as one option, we would use electrofuel that is locally produced, which also minimizes the transport distances. We are eager to investigate this option together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Production from Liquid Wind\u2019s eFuel facility project development FlagshipTHREE in Ume\u00e5 is expected to begin in 2027 with 100,000 tons per year of eMethanol.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ltzhuma0-fd40e198515072bc12286c5aea970daa\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-ltzhuma0-fd40e198515072bc12286c5aea970daa{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-ltzhuma0-fd40e198515072bc12286c5aea970daa .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-ltzhuma0-fd40e198515072bc12286c5aea970daa .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-ltzhuma0-fd40e198515072bc12286c5aea970daa av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Media contacts<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltzhvoy3-a9180d195dda96ddefe24ff97b6d53d6 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Liquid Wind<br \/>\n<\/strong>Klaudija Cavala, Head of Digital, Marketing &amp; Communications<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:media@liquidwind.se\"> media@liquidwind.se<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wasaline <\/strong><br \/>\nCatarina Fant, Director, Brand, Communications &amp; Sustainability<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:catarina.fant@wasaline.com\">catarina.fant@wasaline.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ume\u00e5 Energi <\/strong><br \/>\nOlov Hj\u00e4rtstr\u00f6m Baudin, Media, PR och Public<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:olov.hjartstrombaudin@umeaenergi.se\">olov.hjartstrombaudin@umeaenergi.se<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-f04ef840c2b66cff6c43fead44ee8d66 hr-default  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-01f644d0804b0fcad59e148d39d81d1d av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_button  first flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ltzhwply-dae5eb2558e86ec426a7e9db1c999cb1\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-ltzhwply-dae5eb2558e86ec426a7e9db1c999cb1{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-ltzhwply-dae5eb2558e86ec426a7e9db1c999cb1 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-ltzhwply-dae5eb2558e86ec426a7e9db1c999cb1 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-ltzhwply-dae5eb2558e86ec426a7e9db1c999cb1 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >About us<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltzhx1fn-2946285b417dc27b3fe6fbf9530ccedf '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>About Liquid Wind:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liquidwind.se\/\">Liquid Wind<\/a> is a leading developer of electro fuel production facilities with a vision to reduce the world\u2019s dependency on fossil fuel.
