In April last year, the Port of Aabenraa entered into a collaboration with the international group Linde Gas to investigate the possibilities of locating a PtX plant on the port's land in Ensted. The focal point of the PtX project is the establishment of an electrolysis plant that will produce hydrogen from green electricity from, among other things, offshore wind turbines in the North Sea.
The analyses have so far proven so promising that Linde Gas has entered into an agreement with the Port of Aabenraa to reserve a large area for the plant, the port states in a press release.
- We have now come one step closer, because the business case is positive, and we believe in the potential of the project. That is why we have just entered into an agreement with the Port of Aabenraa to pre-reserve 180,000 m2 at Ensted. Our agreement defines, among other things, the framework and conditions that will apply to future leases of the large area, says Ulrik Nielsen, Linde's Head of Clean Hydrogen in Denmark.
At Aabenraa Port, the advance reservation of the large area at Ensted is exciting, as it brings Aabenraa one step closer to a leading position within Power-to-X and sustainable development.
- We are in a completely unique situation that could not have been foreseen when we began considering the purchase of Ensted in 2015. At that time, the imagination did not extend much further than traditional port operations, because no one had yet started talking about Power-to-X. Today, the fact is that we have all the prerequisites to develop Ensted into a real business cluster within green energy and sustainability, says Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Port of Aabenraa Erwin Andresen.
The Port of Aabenraa formally took over the port area of Ensted, where Linde Gas's future PtX factory is scheduled to be located, in November last year.
