The “world’s first dynamic green ammonia plant” has begun operations in Denmark, with the capacity to produce 5,000 tons per year of ammonia. Fed directly by fluctuating renewable power inputs, the plant is designed to optimize electrolysis and ammonia production, utilising Topsoe technology. Power is provided by 50 MW of solar panels, and 12 MW worth of V80-2.0 MW Vestas wind turbines.

This is a significant achievement. By working across the value chain, we’re accelerating green ammonia as a pathway to diversify our energy supply and decarbonize energy-intensive industries and long-distance transportation like shipping and agriculture.
