Dynamic green ammonia demo in Denmark to go live in early 2024

• The globe's very first dynamic green power-to-ammonia plant, a 10-MW Power-to-X (PtX) demonstration project in Denmark, is expected to commence production at the start of following year.

The project is being created by Skovgaard Energy, in collaboration with Topsoe as well as Vestas Wind Systems A/S, near the village of Ramme in Lemvig town, West Jutland. It is backed by DKK 81.4 million (USD 12m/EUR 11m) in funding under the Danish government's Energy Technology Development and also Demonstration Programme (EUDP).

The PtX plant will certainly work on electricity created by 12 MW of existing wind turbines as well as 50 MW of new solar arrays. It will have the capacity to produce about 5,000 tonnes of green ammonia every year for usage in a variety of applications, including the production of fertilizer.

Swiss technology team ABB Ltd revealed today that it was charged with supplying complete electrical assimilation for the plant and will certainly handle control and also management of the procedure as a whole. According to it, construction is already well underway.

ABB Segment Manager Jeppe Skovgaard Bentzen described why this plant is described as dynamic. "What makes dynamic plants unique is that they can create green fuels when the sun shines and the wind blow as well as can gear production down when neither energy resource exists. That makes them different from various other types of PtX plants, which are straight linked to the grid, making them not quite as agile in terms of being able to adjust to fluctuations in renewable resource," he said.
