Ørsted Chooses Green Hydrogen Systems’ Electrolysers for Pivotal Wind-to-hydrogen Demo Project
Green Hydrogen Systems (GHS), a leading provider of efficient electrolysers used in on-site production of hydrogen based on renewable energy, has been chosen as electrolysis technology partner in a major demonstration project run by the Danish renewable energy major Ørsted, and supported by the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme (EUDP) under the Danish Energy Agency.

The aim of the project, known as H2RES, is to produce renewable hydrogen fuel for heavy-duty road transport. A 2 MW electrolysis plant will be built around GHS’s modular electrolysers powered by two 3.6 MW offshore wind turbines located at the Avedøre Power Station. The plant is expected to start production in late 2021, and to produce around 1000 kg of green hydrogen per day, which will be used to fuel road transport in Greater Copenhagen and on Zealand.
Ørsted has made the final investment decision on the H2RES renewable hydrogen demonstration project at Avedøre Holme in Copenhagen, Denmark. H2RES will be Ørsted s first renewable hydrogen project in operation and marks a new era in Ørsted s green journey, where the power of offshore wind will be harnessed to decarbonize society beyond direct electrification. Avedøre Power Station where H2RES will be located.
H2RES will have a capacity of 2 MW. The facility will produce up to around 1,000 kg of renewable hydrogen daily, which will be used to fuel road transport in Greater Copenhagen and on Zealand. The project is expected to produce its first hydrogen in late 2021.

Herning, Denmark, 20 January 2021 - Everfuel A/S has signed a contract with Ørsted for the offtake and distribution of green hydrogen to zero emission mobility, produced at the H2RES demonstration project on Avedøre Holme in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The contract was signed as Ørsted announced its final investment decision for the H2RES project s electrolyser facility, which will be the company s first renewable hydrogen project utilizing offshore wind power to produce green hydrogen. The facility will have a capacity of 2MW, producing up to around 1,000 kg of renewable hydrogen per day with expected start-up in late 2021. Everfuel will build and operate a compression and trailer-fill facility next to the electrolyser. The hydrogen will be distributed to end-users via Everfuel s network of fueling stations in Copenhagen and Zealand.
Bo Cerup-Simonsen, ceo of Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping A joint industry project has been formed to pursue the development of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology to support the maritime industry’s decarbonisation goal.
Alfa Lava, DTU Energy, Haldor Topsoe, Svitzer and the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping are entering into the joint project, named SOFC4Maritime, funded by a grant from Danish EUDP (Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Project).
The SOFC4Maritime will target optimal utilisation of future green fuels via application of SOFCs for power production on ships.
When based on fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen or bio-methane, SOFCs holds potential as a replacement for today’s fossil fuels.
