European Energy is supplying Green Hydrogen

Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas. It is the lightest element in the periodic table and the most abundant element in the universe, found mainly in stars, including the Sun.

Green hydrogen can be used directly in heavy industries such as steel or cement production. Here, hydrogen can replace fossil fuels, including industrial process heat. In addition, hydrogen can be used as storage for renewable energy and, when needed, used as fuel in fuel cells to generate electricity for e.g., the transportation sector.

Today: Over 80% of the energy for the Hydrogen Plant will be provided by co-located wind turbines (the once right behind the Måde plant) while the rest of the electricity will be sourced via the grid and have Guarantees of Origin. The Product complies with ISO 14687:2019 on hydrogen fuel quality.

Succeeding with the green transition requires using all the tools at our disposal – that of course includes electrification, but also the needs to develop the solutions needed to decarbonise energy consumption in sectors where electrification falls short

Sector-Specific Applications:

• Pharmaceuticals: Used in hydrogenation reactions to synthesize active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Food & Beverage: Applied in fat hydrogenation, modified atmosphere packaging, and steam generation for sterilization.
• Electronics: Used in semiconductor fabrication, including processes like annealing and vapor deposition.
• Metal Processing: Provides oxidation-free atmospheres for heat treatment and welding.
• Environmental Tech: Plays a role in waste-to-hydrogen conversion and flue gas treatment.
• Healthcare: Powers clean backup systems in hospitals; explored in experimental medical therapies.

Mobility and Transport:

• Fuel Cell Vehicles: Hydrogen powers passenger cars, buses, trucks, trains, and emerging aircraft prototypes.
• Material Handling: Common in forklifts and logistics vehicles (e.g., in large-scale warehouses).
• Heavy Transport: Promising for decarbonizing long-distance trucking, marine shipping, and aviation.

Local and Backup Power Generation:

• Distributed Power Systems: Hydrogen fuel cells provide clean, reliable power for buildings, data centers, and remote infrastructure.
• Energy Storage: Excess renewable electricity can be converted to hydrogen and reconverted when needed — offering grid stability and backup capacity

Key Industrial Uses of Hydrogen:

• Chemical Industry: Fundamental to ammonia (fertilizer) and methanol (chemical and fuel) production.
• Steel Manufacturing: Enables low-carbon steelmaking by replacing coal in iron ore reduction.
• Refining: Supports processes like hydrocracking and desulfurization.
• Glass & Electronics: Maintains clean, reducing atmospheres in high-precision manufacturing.
