In Denmark, European Energy has secured a €50 million EU Innovation Fund grant to build a green methanol facility in Denmark, which will produce over 100,000 tonnes of green methanol annually. The project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 150,000 tonnes per year, advancing the EU’s green transition goals. Construction is expected to start in […]
In Denmark, the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping released survey findings on the maritime community’s perception of ammonia as a marine fuel. As the International Maritime Organization targets net-zero emissions by 2050, ammonia is emerging as a promising alternative fuel. Yet, concerns linger about safety, training, and regulation readiness. The survey reached […]
In Denmark, Reuters reported that Denmark will postpone the rollout of a green hydrogen transmission pipeline between western Denmark and northern Germany by three years to 2031 from 2028. Denmark has worked with transmission system operator Energinet to make the timeline more reliable and to limit delays, Denmark’s Energy Minister Lars Aagaard said in a […]
