About
Founded in 2022, Freija is a private headquartered in Tampere, Finland specializing in Hydrogen, Other.
Freija is advancing one of Europe's largest eMethane production projects in the Tampere region, Finland, as the cornerstone of a phased multi-plant growth strategy. The company produces synthetic natural gas (eMethane) and liquefied eMethane (eLNG) from green hydrogen and captured biogenic CO₂, designed as drop-in replacements for fossil fuels in hard-to-abate transport sectors including heavy-duty trucks and shipping. The Tampere facility is designed in three standardized modules, each with 0.85 TWh annual capacity (approximately 58,000 tonnes). Signed term sheets cover three times the first plant's capacity, with commercial operations expected to meet tightening EU transport decarbonization regulations from 2030. The company leverages Nordic advantages including cost-efficient renewable power, biogenic CO₂ sources, proximity to export ports, and access to existing natural gas grids. A single plant is projected to avoid approximately 140,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually. The company is backed by Vanir Green Industries and led by a management team with extensive experience in oil and gas projects, LNG, and renewable energy sectors.
