In addition to being an important part of the offshore wind power projects, it will generate jobs and produce e-fuel for the shipping industry − making Aland attractive for the establishment of large business operations and enabling many new innovative projects in oxygenation of waterways and utilisation of excess heat in various manufacturing activities,” said Anders Wiklund, country manager Aland at OX2.
