Danish groups team up to deliver green hydrogen for transport fuel

(EurActiv, 27 May 2020) Renewable energy company Ørsted and Copenhagen Airport are amongst the consortium of businesses aiming to develop a hydrogen and sustainable transport fuel facility in the heart of the Danish capital. EURACTIV’s media partner edie.net reports.

Ørsted and Copenhagen Airports are working with shipping giant Maersk, Danish logistics firm DSV Panalpina, ferry firm DFDS and airline SAS on a new sustainable fuels facility which could become operational by 2023.

The project, which is still subject to application and funding, would be rolled out in three phases. The first phase, targeted for 2023, would see a 10MW electrolyser constructed that would produce renewable hydrogen that would be used as fuel for buses and trucks.

By 2027, a 250MW electrolyser facility would be installed and powered by renewable electricity sourced from the nearby Bornholm offshore windfarm. Renewable hydrogen would be produced, while carbon capture operating in the city of Copenhagen would be used to assist the creation of renewable methanol for maritime and aviation fuel.
