Topsoe aims to rapidly accelerate the adoption of green solutions in particular within power-to-X.
Topsoe, provider of decarbonization technologies, says it intends to construct the “world’s largest and most advanced” industrial scale electrolyzer production plant. Topsoe reportedly aims to rapidly accelerate the adoption of green solutions in particular within power-to-X.
The new electrolyzer production plant, which will be constructed in Herning, Denmark, will be operational by 2024, according to the company. It reportedly will have an annual capacity of 500 MW with scalability up to 5 GW, making it one of the first industrial scale plants of its kind. Construction is scheduled to begin in the second half of this year, subject to Board and other regulatory approvals.
“We are willing and able to support society’s green ambitions and the need to accelerate the energy transition, and we have the technology to do it,” says Roeland Baan, CEO at Topsoe, in a press release from the company.
Topsoe says it is already seeing considerable interest in its power-to-X offerings and is in advanced discussion with a number of potential partners over future offtake agreements and commitments to reserve capacity from the electrolyzer plant.
Developing a strong power-to-x industry in Europe will also enforce EU’s ambitions of being independent of energy imports from other regions, according to the company. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, and state leaders from Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium signed an agreement in which the parties agree to invest in a ten-fold capacity increase of offshore wind by 2050, according to Topsoe. The political agreement reportedly ensures significant availability of the renewable power needed to supply future power-to-X facilities in the EU.
