COPENHAGEN 28 October – European Energy has officially inaugurated its first green hydrogen facilityin Måde, near Esbjerg. The facility marks European Energy’s first venture into large-scale hydrogen production using renewable energy.

Construction of the facility was completed in June 2024 and after a successful commissioning phase, the facility is now operational with the first electrolyser supplied by the Danish company Stiesdal. Plans are already in place to expand the facility with two additional electrolysers of which the next is expected to be installed in 2025. When all three electrolysers are operating, the plant will have a total capacity of 12MW and an expected annual production of 1,500 metric tonnes of hydrogen.

“With the start of operations at Måde, we can deliver green hydrogen to the market. This achievement demonstrates that the transformation of our energy systems is not just a distant vision—it’s happening right now. European Energy is proud to be at the forefront of this change,” said Knud Erik Andersen, CEO of European Energy.

The green hydrogen produced at the Måde facility will be supplied to the Port Esbjerg and a world leading company in industrial gases. In addition, excess heat generated from the hydrogen production process will be utilised by DIN Forsyning, the local heating utility in Esbjerg municipality, further contributing to the de-carbonisation of the municipality.
