Everfuel, Shell to Collaborate on a Large-Scale Hydrogen Plant in Denmark

(Bioenergy International) In Denmark, hydrogen infrastructure developer Everfuel Denmark A/S and A/S Dansk Shell – the Shell Refinery in Fredericia, and partners have entered into strategic cooperation on the future supply of the transport sector with green energy in the form of a hydrogen plant. The ambition is to be able to install the largest of its kind Power-to-X (P2X) plant in Fredericia to store and utilise excess wind power.

With the cooperation, it is now possible to apply for Danish Energy Agency funding through the energy storage fund pool. The ambition is to be able to install a Power-to-X (P2X) plant in Fredericia with up to 1 GW of electrolysis capacity, but the start could be 20 MW.

According to Everfuel, this is an important step in the green transition, which enables green power to be combined with flexible green hydrogen production, so that wind power can be saved from when it blows to when energy is needed.

Largest green hydrogen plant in the Nordics
The plant is to be built by Everfuel and located on a site owned by the refinery. The Shell Refinery is already using hydrogen as an important part of the production process and will be able to reduce the largest share of hydrogen production. This will make the refining processes of the refinery greener.

The plant and its large-scale production of hydrogen could thus provide the basis for supplying green hydrogen to the transport sector, both as an energy carrier in liquid fuels and for direct use in hydrogen-powered vehicles.

At full extension, the hydrogen plant will have a capacity equivalent to the refinery hydrogen demand being converted to renewable energy, as well as supplying up to 4 000 fuel cell buses and trucks with hydrogen daily. READ MORE
