European Energy has said its Power-to-X plant in Denmark will be ready in the first half of 2023 to supply green hydrogen to the Port of Esbjerg.
The plant will produce green hydrogen for ships docked in the harbour of Esbjerg, as well as for industrial customers in Denmark.
The facility connects directly to the large wind turbines in Måde. It runs 100% on local green electricity.
DIN Forsyning has entered into an agreement with European Energy to take the excess heat from production.
This surplus heat will be able to heat the equivalent of 200 average households in the start-up phase.
Business development manager at DIN Forsyning Claus A Nielsen said: “We are very happy with this agreement we have entered with European Energy.
“The more surplus heat we can use in our district heating system without producing it ourselves, the better.
“When we can use resources that are left over from other processes, it is a win-win all the way around.
“For the climate, our customers, European Energy and for ourselves.
“The facility will also contribute important knowledge about how we integrate and operate this type of sector integration.”
European Energy head of project economics & optimisation for Power-to-X Rene Alcaraz Frederiksen said: “The plant is also a demonstration plant within sector coupling and will provide valuable knowledge to the industry on how to make sector coupling in practice when even larger plants are to be built.”
