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.
“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”, 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.
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.
“We are excited to be part of this groundbreaking project that demonstrates the real-world potential of green ammonia,” says Langås.
“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.”
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.
“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”, says Langås.
“We look forward to continued collaboration with partners like Topsoe, Vestas and Skovgaard Energy to scale up this technology and accelerate the green transition.”
