COPENHAGEN – At the Orsted’s construction site at the Avedore Power Plant located just south of Copenhagen, the Danish multinational power company is currently constructing a demo renewable hydrogen production facility.
As of 2022, two of the three wind turbines on the nearby coast will be used to produce renewable hydrogen in a small-scale pilot project – one of the pioneering projects for renewable hydrogen production in Denmark. “It’s a two-megawatt demonstration project to see how the wind turbines and the electrolyzers work together,” Orsted’s Michael Korsgaard told New Europe following a visit at the plant.
Renewable hydrogen – where energy for the electrolysis is from renewable generation, for example from wind or solar, comes with no CO2 emissions (0 kg CO2e per kg hydrogen). Renewable energy can be sourced directly from onsite generation, by co-locating…
