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. The gas company wants the hydrogen plant to be ready by 2025 at the Southern Danish port, says Linde Gas’ head of green hydrogen sales in Denmark, Ulrik Nielsen. The firm is looking for collaboration partners to convert green hydrogen into green ammonia.
coverting green 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 fuels such as ammonia working 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.
"We are incredibly proud that Northern Europe's leading industrial gas company has selected us as partner, and that going forward, we will collaborate to support a green agenda. We see many perspectives in the collaboration."
finding collaboration partners within two years
According to Linde Gas’ schedule, the plan is set to find collaboration partners within two year 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."
