ENGIE and European Energy start cooperation on large-scale renewable hydrogen development in Denmark
In Denmark, ENGIE and European Energy have entered into a cooperation agreement to advance the development of a large-scale renewable hydrogen project in Denmark.
The project is designed to support the emerging European hydrogen market and contribute to the development of cross-border hydrogen infrastructure connecting Denmark and Germany.
Located in Aabenraa Municipality, the project will be developed near Kassø, home to the world’s first industrial-scale e-methanol plant. This existing installation is owned by Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and European Energy. The new facility will have an electrolyzer capacity of up to 150 MW and is intended to connect to the future Danish-German Hydrogen Backbone infrastructure. The hydrogen produced at the site is expected to supply industrial and mobility demand in Germany and support the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors while building business resilience within EU, European Energy said.
The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration between the parties during the next stages of project development, including technical studies, work related to hydrogen transport. Under this agreement, ENGIE reserves the marketing right of more than 20.000 tons of renewable hydrogen per annum, the firm added.
