Danish companies Topsoe, Skovgaard Energy and Vestas have started construction of a demonstration plant in Lemvig, Denmark, that will produce green ammonia, according to a news release.
The plant will generate more than 5,000 ton green ammonia annually from 50 MW of new solar and 12 MW of existing wind.
The partnership has received DKK 81m from the Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP).
“An important part of the climate action plan for Lemvig Municipality is to turn the areas’ many energy resources from wind and sun into new green fuels or other future potentials,” the release states.
The plant will be designed to adapt to fluctuations in power output from wind turbines and solar panels. This will be done by integrating wind, solar, and electrolysis with an ammonia synthesis loop. In addition, the renewable energy generation will be connected directly to the national grid.
