With a capacity of 5,000 tons of ammonia per year, the PtX plant in Ramme will not make a big green difference in the big picture, but the inauguration on Monday is nevertheless remarkable, as it is the world's first green ammonia plant, which will produce ammonia with energy from six wind turbines and 50 MW of solar cells. This is what Green Power Denmark writes.
- It may not be the world's largest plant, but it may be the world's best idea becoming a reality. It is a testament to the fact that wind turbines and solar cells are not only the source of solving climate challenges, but also a source of creating local development and jobs, says Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard (M), who, together with Jørgen Skovgaard, founder of Skovgaard Energy, Thomas Danielsen (V), Minister of Transport and Mayor of Lemvig Municipality Erik Flyvholm (V), cut the ribbon that marked the inauguration.
Behind the plant are Skovgaard Energy and its partners Topsoe, Vestas and the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP).
- I never thought that we would also produce green ammonia when we installed the first wind turbines more than thirty years ago. The inauguration is a milestone for Skovgaard Energy, Northwest Jutland and all of Denmark. I am proud that together we are helping to unleash the potential of the green transition, says Jørgen Skovgaard, founder of Skovgaard Energy.
"A playpen"
In addition to the ammonia plant in Ramme, which was built with EUDP funds together with Topsoe and Vestas, Skovgaard Energy is working on a large-scale plant in Idomlund near Holstebro, gigawatt size, based on offshore wind farms in the North Sea.
- The ammonia plant in Ramme is the playpen that will teach us how to lower costs and scale in size, because the demand for green fuels in, among other things, shipping and in heavy industry is gigantic, says Niels Erik Madsen, CEO of Skovgaard Energy.
Initially, the ammonia from the plant in Ramme will be used for green fertilizer, but it can also be used as green fuel for shipping.
