“I warmly welcome you to explore the region’s unique opportunities for the hydrogen economy. Here on the northern Gulf of Bothnia, strategic location, abundant clean energy and a strong industrial ecosystem create an ideal gateway for future-focused hydrogen investments. We look forward to shaping the next chapter of sustainable industry together.”
Sea Lapland lies directly on the electricity interface between Sweden and Finland. This provides access to vast Nordic hydro and wind resources and enhances grid flexibility.
The region benefits from high-capacity transmission lines that carry power from Northern Scandinavia toward Southern Finland, ensuring excellent grid stability and reliable supply for energy-intensive industry and improving conditions for large hydrogen and P2X investments.
Power
Renewable Energy: Wind & Solar
The coastal location of Sea Lapland makes it well suited for wind power, both onshore and offshore, as well as solar power during the long daylight periods in summer time. Combined with the region’s open land and industrial sites, there is potential to co-locate renewable energy production with P2X and hydrogen projects. Moreover, the existing industry and real-estate infrastructures make grid and energy integration more feasible.
Carbon Dioxide
Heavy Industry CO₂ Point Sources
Sea Lapland has a long industrial tradition, with heavy industry, forestry-based sectors, paper & pulp processing, and maritime logistics.
This industrial base — together with available industrial sites, existing ports and logistic connections — offers ideal conditions for carbon capture, utilization or storage (CCUS) and P2X/hydrogen investments. The existence of legacy emissions also means there may be uptake for decarbonization projects and partnerships.
A Region Built on Industry — Over a Century of Northern Expertise
Steel
Europe’s Stainless Steel Capital
In Tornio, Outokumpu operates one of the world’s most advanced stainless-steel production complexes. The Tornio site integrates ferrochrome production, steelmaking and rolling — forming a globally significant industrial cluster with efficient logistics, deep-sea port connections and extensive energy infrastructure.
This makes Tornio a natural anchor for future hydrogen integration and industrial decarbonization.
Mining
Europe’s Largest Chromite Resource
Just inland in Keminmaa lies the Outokumpu Kemi Mine, the only chromite mine in the European Union and the foundation of Outokumpu’s ferrochrome production.
The mine’s long-term operations and high-quality ore body have secured stable industrial activity for decades, supporting both regional employment and expertise in mining, materials processing and energy-intensive operations.
Forestry
One of the Largest Bioproduct Mills
Kemi is home to Metsä Group’s new bioproduct mill, the largest of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere. This world-leading facility brings advanced process technology, circular resource use, and renewable energy generation to the region, forming one of the most modern forest-industry hubs globally. Its scale and by-product streams also enable future synergies with hydrogen, CO₂ utilization, and P2X production.
Sea Lapland Hydrogen Day 2026
Join us in Sea-Lapland for high-level event aimed at accelerating hydrogen economy investments and building a coordinated regional ecosystem.
Sea-Lapland is entering a new phase of hydrogen and P2X development, with major industrial players, municipalities and infrastructure operators working together to build a coordinated ecosystem. This event offers direct access to the people shaping that process and the information needed for future investment decisions.
