Cooperation between Nevel and Cursor promotes Kotka biogas project

Nevel Oy is an energy infrastructure company providing sustainable energy and circular economy solutions for industry and real estate. Its activities are broadly focused on material efficiency and carbon neutrality. Nevel’s solutions help its customers to achieve their sustainability goals in the areas of renewable energy, materials recycling and optimal living conditions.

The company aims to build a biogas plant in Kotka, in the immediate vicinity of Kymen Water’s wastewater treatment plant in Mussalo. The biogas plant will process biowaste and biosolids from the area into biogas that can be used as a transport fuel and in industrial energy production.

The excellent location of the industrial site made the decision to locate easy

Nevel’s Head of Technology and Projects Esa Mörsky says the decision was an easy one.

– The future location of the biogas plant is functional. We currently collect sewage sludge from the area, but transport it to Forssa. The future plant will reduce the need for transport and will be in the immediate vicinity of Kymen Vesi’s wastewater treatment plant. The possibility of connecting to the natural gas network is also important to us.

Mörsky also sees positive developments in the Kotka-Hamina region.

– The region is constantly evolving and we at Nevel are also interested in serving other companies in the region in the fields of water treatment, energy and the circular economy.

Nevel got help from Cursor’s experts in finding a plot of land, obtaining permits and building up networks

The collaboration between Nevel and Cursor started a couple of years ago. Mörsky says Cursor’s expertise was particularly important in terms of local knowledge.

– With the help of Cursor’s experts, we have established networks with local industry and the city of Kotka, among others. It has been easy to work with the experts helping us to contact the right people and organising open networking events for companies in the area.

Cursor also helped Nevel in finding a suitable industrial site and in various licensing matters.

– Our process would have been more difficult without the help of the Cursor InvestIn team of experts.
