Linde Gas wants to invest EUR 100 million in large-scale hydrogen facility

The gas company Linde Gas is looking for collaborators for a new 100-MW hydrogen facility operational at the Southern Danish Port in Aabenraa by 2025.

converting greeen hydrogen into green ammonia

Linde Gas’ Head of Green Hydrogen Sales in Denmark, Ulrik Nielsen, says that the investment could easily amount to EUR 100 million. This sum will only cover the facility itself, since the further plan is to include conversion of the hydrogen to green ammonia as another manifestation of the X in Power-to-X (PtX). The source of the plant’s electricity is not determined yet, just as no investment decision has been made on who will provide the electrolyzer. The port of Aabenraa has one of the Baltic Sea’s deepest ports, and an attractive location close to Europe’s third-largest diesel hub in Padborg at the E45 highway and the Danish borders to Germany.

finding collaboration partners within two years

According to Linde Gas’ schedule, the plan is set to find collaboration partners within two years the latest, which can use the green hydrogen for productions of ammonia or methanol. The firm strives to use its position as an international conglomerate to look for partners around the world, as there is still a shortage of companies in Denmark that are venturing into ammonia production from hydrogen.

It's not certain that those partners will be found in Denmark, but fortunately, Linde has a global network, where we think there are many who would like to join us on our journey. We are part of a regional and a world-spanning organization, which gives us opportunities.
