The release of the Danish government’s new Power-to-X (PtX) and hydrogen strategy has been eagerly anticipated by the team at Everfuel.
The strategy will play a significant role in making green hydrogen competitive and reduce the Danish CO2-emissions.
Last night the Danish Government launched their PtX and hydrogen strategy with the ambition of significantly contributing to CO2-reductions in Denmark. As a first step toward becoming a European leader in PtX and green hydrogen and in the transformation of difficult-to-abate industries, the strategy is critical for Denmark.
Green hydrogen and platinum tetrafluoroethylene (PtX) are highlighted in the new strategy as critical components of Denmark’s energy transition and the fight against global warming.
The strategy focuses, among other things, on the Southern part of Denmark as a hub for green energy and sector coupling, where the current natural gas connections to the rest of Denmark and Europe can be converted to hydrogen distribution. The initiatives in Southern Denmark will specifically influence Everfuel’s new PtX facility, HySynergy, in Fredericia, with its location close to existing energy infrastructure.
“We are particularly pleased with the Government’s focus on hydrogen infrastructure, which will make green hydrogen more competitive within a relatively short time frame. Now, we are eager to see how the well-intended ambitions in the strategy will come to live, and which concrete steps will be made in order to reach the 2030 goals. We look forward to participating in developing these steps – for instance through Hydrogen Denmark where our CTO, Uffe Borup, serves as Chairman”, says Jacob Krogsgaard, CEO at Everfuel.
