Ørsted - Green Fuels for Denmark (GFDK) (DK10)

Imagem

Ørsted has evolved from one of the most coal-intensive companies in Europe into a leader in energy transformation. Ørsted develops, constructs, and operates offshore and onshore wind farms, solar farms, energy storage facilities, renewable hydrogen and green fuels facilities, and bioenergy plants. Ørsted’s renewable hydrogen projects enable sectors that are hard to electrify, such as many areas of industry heavy transport (including shipping and aviation), to decarbonise.

Green Fuels for Denmark (GFDK), 100% Ørsted developed, will provide a flexible decarbonisation pathway for heavy-road transport, marine shipping, and aviation in Europe with an integrated power-to-X (P2X) logistic and value chain with the common vision and aim of establishing sustainable fuels production utilizing ~1.3 GW electrolyser capacity by 2030.

Phase 1 will demonstrate the use of large electrolyser modules, producing hydrogen from renewable electricity for the operation hydrogen powered trucks and buses, while considering other possible outlets in industrial processes. The end-product provided by Phase 1 will be green hydrogen and expected maximum production capacity is expected between 4.3 and 5.3 tons per day. Phase 1 will also be the learning platform for the subsequent phase 2a.

Phase 2a is an ambitious e-fuel hub that couples renewable energy production, biogenic point-source carbon capture and utilisation (CCU), and synthesis of e-fuels with district heating, wastewater treatment, and sustainable fuel following a full sector-coupling approach. Phase 2a is expected to produce 50,000 ton of e-methanol per year. Phase 2b will further implement the learnings from phase 2a and focus on providing e-kerosone for aviation.

The project will be located in the Greater Copenhagen Area, Denmark.
