HØST PtX Esbjerg: Green Light for 1 GW Electrolyser Capacity Expansion
Key Ideas
  • The Danish Environmental Agency granted key environmental approvals to HØST PtX Esbjerg for developing up to 1 GW of electrolyser capacity, crucial for green fuel production.
  • The project aims to contribute to the decarbonization of hard-to-electrify sectors and supports the transition to large-scale Power-to-X projects in Denmark and the EU.
  • HØST envisions creating 100-150 permanent local jobs in Esbjerg, positively impacting the economy and fostering community growth with continued agency and industry support.
  • Securing land, power access, and water supply are essential milestones achieved by Project HØST, signaling progress towards the construction phase and green hydrogen export to Germany.
HØST PtX Esbjerg has received primary environmental approvals from the Danish Environmental Agency for their project, marking a significant step towards installing up to 1 GW of electrolyser capacity in Esbjerg. The approvals demonstrate support for Power-to-X projects in Denmark, focusing on generating sustainable fuels like hydrogen. Project Director David Dupont-Mouritzen expressed delight in achieving these milestones, highlighting the project's commitment to decarbonization and the potential for large-scale Power-to-X initiatives in Denmark. HØST is now advancing to the next phase, emphasizing the importance of developing hydrogen infrastructure for exporting green hydrogen, particularly to Germany. The project anticipates creating 100-150 local jobs in Esbjerg post-operation, contributing to the local economy and promoting sustainable growth. With support from national agencies and service providers, HØST aims to make a final investment decision soon. Various achievements, such as securing land, grid connection for green power, and water supply, signify crucial milestones reached by HØST, indicating progress towards the construction phase and future green hydrogen export plans.
