The partnership brings together the demand and supply side of sustainable fuels, with a vision to develop a new hydrogen and e-fuel production facility by 2023.
By 2030, the project could deliver more than 250,000 tonnes of sustainable fuel for aircraft, buses, trucks and maritime vessels each year.
Production would most probably be based on a total electrolyser capacity of 1.3 gigawatts, which could potentially make it one of the world's largest facilities of its kind. The production from the fully-scaled facility can reduce annual carbon emissions by 850,000 tonnes.
This vision will require a large-scale supply of renewable electricity, which could potentially come from offshore wind power produced at Rønne Banke off the island of Bornholm.
The project is supported by the Municipality of Copenhagen in line with Copenhagen's ambitious policies for decarbonisation. However, the partnership hopes that the project can, over time, act as a catalyst for similar projects in other parts of
Although several partners are challenged by the impacts of COVID-19, long-term commitments to fighting climate change remain intact. The industrial partners see this project as a way to combine the dual objectives of accelerating the green transformation and providing economic stimulus to the Danish economy post COVID-19.
The partnership will now engage with regulatory authorities on the framework and policies needed to support the development of using sustainable fuels at scale in the transport sector in
