The Danish Environmental Agency has granted the Project HØST PtX Esbjerg the primary environmental approvals (EIA approval of the project and Environmental approval of the facility). This represents a key milestone for the project and further affirms the regulator’s support for the development of Power-to-X projects in Denmark, hence contributing to the green transition in both Denmark and EU.

“We are extremely pleased to have received the environmental approvals that will allow us to continue the development of installing up to 1 GW of electrolyser capacity in Esbjerg to generate sustainable green fuels such as hydrogen. The approvals not only validate our commitment to the decarbonization of hard-to-electrify sectors, but they also strengthen our belief in the long-term potential of large-scale Power-to-X projects in Denmark. With this important milestone now achieved, we will continue to mature the project towards the next stage of development,” said David Dupont-Mouritzen, Project Director of HØST PtX Esbjerg.
