Green ammonia plant inaugurated by Skovgaard Energy, Vestas and Topsoe
The plant will demonstrate a dynamic approach, which entails that the plant will adapt to the inherent fluctuations in power output from the renewable power sources in integration with the plant’s electrolysis and ammonia synthesis loop.
Kim Hedegaard, CEO Power-to-X at Topsoe, said: “With this new facility, we are taking an important step, which will benefit both Denmark and the rest of the world. We need to continue the development of green alternatives for energy-intensive industries and long-distance transportation with research, innovation and action. This project is a unique example of going from good intentions to actively supporting the energy transition.”
Niels Erik Madsen, CEO at Skovgaard Energy, said: “We have achieved a milestone in Denmark. Until today, we have been able to supply plenty of green power to the power grid, but we have not been able to store it or convert it to the needs of industry. We are now able to do just that, when we turn green electricity into green ammonia.”
The plant is a demonstration project, which have received funding from the Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP).
