Green North Energy was founded in 2021 by Elomatic, when the engineers innovated new business opportunities for the soon-to-be-abandoned Naantali refinery area in Southwestern Finland. The brainstorming led to the concept of a scalable hydrogen and ammonia plant, recognizing significant business potential and the opportunity to promote a shift away from the fossil economy. As a result, a decision was made to establish a project development company, Green North Energy.
