The Danish Board of Business Development is supporting a study that will examine the potential for Power-to-X (PtX) production of green fuels at the planned energy island at Bornholm.
The study, which is supported with REACT-EU funds, will be led by Ronne Havn and will have a number of local and national partners.
These include Orsted, Skovgaard Energy, Topsoe, Danfoss Drives, Ramboll, DTU Management, DTU Wind and Energy Systems, Bornholms Energi & Forsyning, Bornholms Regionskommune and Gate 21.
The study is expected to be completed within a year and will culminate in a business case.
The parties will, as a starting point, examine a number of aspects of PtX production, from manufacturing and economics to possibilities for connection of electrical systems and district heating systems on Bornholm and across the Baltic Sea.
One year ago, Ronne Havn launched the consortium Bornholm Bunker Hub together with eight international partners, among others Orsted, Topsoe and Molslinjen.
The consortium is working to turn Bornholm into a ‘filling station’ of green fuels for ships sailing in the Baltic Sea.
The study is a follow-up to Vaekstteam Bornholm’s recommendations from the spring of 2021, which among other things recommended that the island should be the Baltic Sea’s green transport hub and the project be implemented as part of the business lighthouse that will make Bornholm the Baltic Sea’s centre for green energy.
