Ørsted, Skovgaard Energy join forces to develop power-to-X facility

If the necessary offshore wind capacity and hydrogen infrastructure in and out of Denmark are established, the facility’s electrolysis capacity could be increased to more than 3 GW and the hydrogen exported.

Ørsted chief operating officer power-to-X Anders Nordstrøm said, “Europe needs green solutions at scale to fight climate change and to secure regional energy independence.

“Few countries have as strong a potential to become a green energy exporter as Denmark due to its abundant and low-cost offshore wind resources, which are supplemented by onshore wind and solar PV. By partnering with Skovgaard Energy on the Idomlund project, Ørsted is entering one of the most strategically advantageous projects to leverage the strong fit between large-scale renewable energy and power-to-X."

Ørsted and Skovgaard Energy are both deeply involved in the development of power-to-X projects. Skovgaard Energy and partners are building Denmark’s first dynamic power-to-X plant for the production of green ammonia and Ørsted has constructed a renewable hydrogen project H2RES at Avedøre Power Station in Copenhagen, where the flagship project Green Fuels for Denmark is also located.
