European Energy will supply the port with green hydrogen produced at its wind farm in M\u00e5de near Esbjerg from next year. The fuel will be used to generate fossil free power to vessels at port reducing emissions and air pollution.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is an increasing demand for renewable based energy from vessels calling our port,\u201d said chief executive, Dennis Jul Pedersen, Port Esbjerg.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis green hydrogen fuel cell technology will add an important capacity to our onshore power supply grid. Furthermore, this is a mobile unit enabling us to deploy the unit in any port section where needed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
When producing green hydrogen, a large of amount of heat is generated. Instead of letting this go to waste, the excess heat will used by the local district heating network in Esbjerg.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project demonstrates sector coupling in practice and will give us invaluable knowledge of the day-to-day operations of a Power to X (PtX) facility,\u201d explained Ren\u00e9 Alcaraz Frederiksen, head of project economics & optimization, Power to X.<\/p>\n
Esbjerg Municipality recently approved the building of the new PtX-facility in M\u00e5de near Esbjerg. The power used to fuel the electrolysis process in the PtX-facility will primarily be from two test wind turbines in Esbjerg set up by European Energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
