Nel – World’s First Dynamic Green Ammonia Plant officially opened
The world’s first dynamic green ammonia plant, located in Ramme, Denmark, was recently inaugurated by a Danish partnership consisting of Topsoe, Skovgaard Energy, and Vestas. Nel has delivered the electrolysers.
For this pioneering project, Nel supplied 10MW of electrolyser capacity in the form of four of the company’s proven A485 units. These electrolysers will enable the plant to produce hydrogen from renewable energy, which will then be synthesized into green ammonia.
says Henning G. Langås, Senior Tender Manager at Nel Hydrogen, who attended the inauguration along with two Danish ministers, Lars Aagaard, Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities, and Thomas Danielsen, Minister of Transport.
“What makes this facility unique is its dynamic approach – the ammonia plant is connected directly to solar and wind power and is able to adapt to the inherent fluctuations in the output of these renewable sources.
This allows for cost-effective production of green ammonia without the need for battery or hydrogen storage”,
Preventing 8,200 tons of CO2 emissions
According to the project partners the plant will prevent 8,200 tons of CO2 emissions annually by producing over 5,000 tons of green ammonia.
Langås says
“We are excited to be part of this groundbreaking project that demonstrates the real-world potential of green ammonia,”
“By providing our reliable and efficient electrolyser technology, we are contributing to a solution that can help decarbonize industries like shipping, agriculture, steel and ammonia production.”
Collaboration provides valuable insights
The Ramme plant is expected to provide valuable insights and experience that can pave the way for larger Power-to-X projects in the future.
Langås says
“This project is a significant step forward in making green ammonia a viable alternative to fossil fuels, and it shows how Nel’s electrolysers play an important role in enabling the transition to a renewable hydrogen economy”,
“We look forward to continued collaboration with partners like Topsoe, Vestas and Skovgaard Energy to scale up this technology and accelerate the green transition.”
