Denmark Unveils World's First Dynamic Green Ammonia Plant
Key Ideas
- The world's first dynamic green ammonia plant in Ramme, Denmark, was inaugurated, using Nel's 10MW electrolyser capacity to produce green ammonia from renewable sources.
- The plant is unique in its direct connection to solar and wind power, allowing for cost-effective production without the need for battery or hydrogen storage, preventing 8,200 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
- The project demonstrates the potential of green ammonia in decarbonizing various industries and provides valuable insights for future Power-to-X projects, showcasing Nel's role in enabling the transition to a renewable hydrogen economy.
- Collaboration between Nel, Topsoe, Vestas, and Skovgaard Energy aims to scale up the technology and accelerate the green transition in various sectors like shipping, agriculture, steel, and ammonia production.
The world's first dynamic green ammonia plant has officially opened in Ramme, Denmark, through a partnership involving Nel, Topsoe, Skovgaard Energy, and Vestas. Nel supplied 10MW of electrolyser capacity for the plant, enabling the production of green ammonia from renewable energy sources. This innovative project is unique due to its direct connection to solar and wind power, allowing it to adapt to fluctuations in renewable energy output and produce green ammonia cost-effectively without requiring battery or hydrogen storage, consequently preventing 8,200 tons of CO2 emissions annually. The inauguration was attended by Henning G. Langås, Senior Tender Manager at Nel Hydrogen, along with Danish ministers Lars Aagaard and Thomas Danielsen. Langås highlighted the significance of the project in showcasing the potential of green ammonia in decarbonizing industries like shipping, agriculture, steel, and ammonia production. The collaboration between the project partners is expected to provide valuable insights for future Power-to-X projects, emphasizing Nel's role in facilitating the transition to a renewable hydrogen economy. The project marks a significant step towards making green ammonia a viable alternative to fossil fuels, with plans to scale up the technology and accelerate the green transition in various sectors.
