The Skovgaard green ammonia plant has started operations. \u00a9 Topsoe<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

  • The partnership between Danish companies Skovgaard Energy, Topsoe and Vestas has reached an important milestone: The world\u2019s first-of-its-kind green ammonia plant has started operations.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The plant, owned by Skovgaard Energy and located in Ramme Denmark, demonstrates how renewable power can be coupled directly to an ammonia plant while taking the fluctuations in power production into account without having a hydrogen storage.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Annual production capacity is 5,000 tons of green ammonia, with a CO2 reduction of 9,600 tons.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The partnership has received DKK 81 million (app. EUR 11 million) in funding from the Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Topsoe, a global leader in carbon emission reduction technologies, and its partners Skovgaard Energy, a Danish developer of green energy assets, and Vestas, the global leader in wind energy solutions, have reached a major milestone in their partnership: The world\u2019s first dynamic green ammonia plant is now in operation and producing green ammonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First of a kind, the plant demonstrates 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\u2019s electrolysis and ammonia synthesis loop. This will ensure optimal production and improve cost-effectiveness of green ammonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The dynamic approach is important as it optimizes operations and ensures less need for costly storage solutions of green hydrogen or renewable power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Kim Hedegaard, CEO Power-to-X at Topsoe, said:<\/strong>
    \u201cThis is a significant achievement. By working across the value chain, we\u2019re accelerating green ammonia as a pathway to diversify our energy supply and decarbonize energy-intensive industries and long-distance transportation like shipping and agriculture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Niels Erik Madsen, CEO at Skovgaard Energy, said:
    <\/strong>\u201cWe are extremely proud of this groundbreaking project in Northwest Jutland driving innovation, growth and job creation locally. It demonstrates the energy systems of tomorrow \u2013 scalable worldwide to accelerate the green transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Ammonia to play a critical role<\/strong>
    Topsoe delivers the ammonia technology, and Vestas delivers renewable wind power adding to the power provided from Skovgaard Energy\u2019s solar panels and wind turbines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ammonia \u2013 either in the form of low-carbon ammonia or as an e-fuel \u2013 is expected to play a critical role in the world\u2019s fuel mix. It can be transported using existing infrastructure; and it has multiple end-uses, not only as a fuel or hydrogen carrier but also to help decarbonize industrial processes like agriculture, shipping and steel production.

    Facts about the green ammonia plant<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The plant is a demonstration project, which have received funding from the\u00a0Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Location: Ramme near Lemvig, Northwest Jutland, Denmark.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Output: 5,000 tons of green ammonia annually from renewable power. This production will prevent approximately 9,600 tons of CO2<\/sub>\u00a0from being emitted into the atmosphere every year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Power input: 50 MW new solar panels and 12 MW existing V80-2.0 MW Vestas wind turbines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
