Topsoe's SOEC technology picked for Forestal's Triskelion e-methanol project in Spain

Danish technology company Topsoe has signed an offtake agreement to provide its solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) technology for Spanish shipping and chemicals company Forestal del Atlántico’s Triskelion e-methanol plant in Galicia, Spain.

As disclosed, the SOECs will be delivered from Topsoe’s manufacturing facility in Herning, Denmark, which is nearing the final stage of readiness for industrial-scale production.

The agreement, which includes a 10-year service warranty program, builds on Topsoe’s existing agreement with Forestal, announced in December 2024, to provide its e-methanol synthesis technology, catalysts, and engineering for the e-methanol production.

Sundus Cordelia Ramli, CCO, Power-to-X, at Topsoe, stated:​ “We are thrilled to announce this next step in our collaboration with Forestal and to secure an additional order for our SOEC electrolyzers. Our integrated SOEC and e-methanol technology will enable Forestal to decarbonize its chemical production value chain. This project further demonstrates how combining electrolysis and synthesis technologies in a bankable, end-to-end solution can help decarbonize energy-intensive industries. We’re proud to be providing an advanced, deeply integrated solution to one of Europe’s trailblazing e-methanol plants.”
