Power to X
Power to X
Denmark is where renewable power meets real-world Power-to-X deployment. With abundant green energy, strong infrastructure and direct access to European demand, Denmark offers a launchpad for scaling green hydrogen and e-fuels across the continent.
The EU has set a clear course: 10 million tonnes of domestic renewable hydrogen production and 10 million tonnes of imports by 2030. Backed by initiatives such as the European Hydrogen Bank and IPCEIs, the framework for growth is firmly in place.
What does this mean in practice? One thing above all: a massive demand for renewable power.
And that is where Denmark stands out.
Denmark has spent more than four decades building a renewable energy system that works at scale. Today, over 80% of electricity in the Danish grid comes from renewable sources, placing Denmark among the global frontrunners. By 2027, the electricity supply is expected to be fully green, ensuring compliance with EU requirements for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO).
In Denmark, hydrogen only comes in one colour: green.
This provides a reliable foundation for producing green hydrogen and transforming it into e-fuels for aviation, shipping and industry, helping Europe strengthen both sustainability and energy resilience.
Surrounded by sea and powered by wind, Denmark offers exceptional conditions for large-scale Power-to-X.
The Danish North Sea alone holds the potential for up to 40 GW of offshore wind capacity, equivalent to three times Denmark’s projected electricity consumption by 2040. This ensures long-term access to competitively priced renewable energy, a critical factor for Power-to-X investment decisions.
Location matters. Denmark sits at the gateway to Germany, Europe’s largest future hydrogen market.
Energinet, the Danish transmission system operator, is developing a hydrogen backbone that will connect Denmark directly to Germany. Capacity booking is already underway, and the German government has committed EUR 1.3 billion to support the cross-border infrastructure.
This creates a clear pathway from production in Denmark to demand in Europe.
For international companies looking to establish or expand Power-to-X activities in Europe, Denmark offers the certainty, scale and connectivity needed to turn green ambition into commercial reality.
