The world’s first large-scale green methanol plant has been officially inaugurated in Denmark.
The Kassø e-methanol facility in Aabenraa, near the German border, is also Europe’s second-largest green hydrogen project, using 52.5MW of Siemens Energy PEM electrolysers.
It combines green hydrogen produced using electricity from the adjacent 304MW Kassø Solar Park, the largest solar plant in Northern Europe, with biogenic CO2 captured from the nearby Tønder Biogas facility to produce 42,000 tonnes of e-methanol with a 97% lower carbon footprint than methanol derived from fossil fuels.
