cooperation agreement signed for 150 MW Hydrogen Project in Germany

ENGIE and European Energy have entered into a cooperation agreement to advance the development of a large-scale renewable hydrogen project in Denmark.

The project is designed to support the emerging European hydrogen market and contribute to the development of cross-border hydrogen infrastructure connecting Denmark and Germany. Located in Aabenraa Municipality, it will be developed near Kassø, home to the world’s first industrial-scale e-methanol plant. This existing installation is owned by Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and European Energy. The new facility will have an electrolyser capacity of up to 150 MW and is intended to connect to the future Danish-German Hydrogen Backbone infrastructure. The hydrogen produced at the site is expected to supply industrial and mobility demand in Germany and support the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors while building business resilience within EU.

The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration between the parties during the next stages of project development, including technical studies, work related to hydrogen transport. Under this agreement, ENGIE reserves the marketing right of more than 20,000 tons of renewable hydrogen per annum. The project’s targeted commercial operation date is aligned with the expected commissioning of Denmark’s hydrogen backbone infrastructure around 2030.
