A global clean-energy breakthrough has moved from concept to reality.

 

Topsoe, Skovgaard Energy and Vestas have launched the world’s first dynamic green ammonia plant, now fully operational and producing green ammonia in Denmark.

 

The first-of-its-kind facility marks a major advance in how renewable energy can be converted into green fuels. Unlike conventional plants, the dynamic system continuously adjusts production to match fluctuating power from wind and solar sources, integrating electrolysis directly with the ammonia synthesis loop. The result: more efficient operations, lower costs and reduced reliance on expensive energy or hydrogen storage.

 

The project demonstrates how future energy systems can operate flexibly alongside renewable power, solving one of the biggest challenges facing large-scale green fuel production.

 

Kim Hedegaard, CEO Power-to-X at Topsoe, said: "This is a significant achievement. By working across the value chain, we’re accelerating green ammonia as a pathway to diversify our energy supply and decarbonize energy-intensive industries and long-distance transportation like shipping and agriculture.”

 

Located in Northwest Jutland, the plant combines Topsoe’s ammonia technology with renewable power from Vestas wind turbines and Skovgaard Energy’s wind and solar assets. The partners say the model is scalable and can be deployed globally.

 

Niels Erik Madsen, CEO at Skovgaard Energy, said: "We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking project in Northwest Jutland driving innovation, growth and job creation locally. It demonstrates the energy systems of tomorrow – scalable worldwide to accelerate the green transition.”

 

Ammonia is expected to become a cornerstone of the global energy transition, whether as low-carbon ammonia or an e-fuel. It can be transported using existing infrastructure and used not only as a fuel or hydrogen carrier, but also to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors including agriculture, shipping and steel production.

 

With the plant now in operation, the partners say the project provides a real-world blueprint for how renewable energy and green fuels can be integrated at scale — and deployed worldwide.
