Everfuel A/S and Crossbridge Energy Fredericia A/S announced the first production and delivery of hydrogen to the Crossbridge Energy refinery, marking a significant milestone in the HySynergy I project. This achievement is the initial step towards stable operations and production ramp-up and underscores Everfuel and Crossbridge Energy’s commitment to advancing the hydrogen economy.
The HySynergy I 20MW project, located in Fredericia, Denmark, is the first facility in Everfuel’s strategy to develop green hydrogen production capacities. The successful production and delivery of hydrogen to project partner and offtaker Crossbridge Energy is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Everfuel and Crossbridge Energy team and our partners.
“This milestone is not only a significant achievement for us but also an important step towards producing more green liquid fuels for planes, ships, and transportation that cannot be electrified. It is a beacon on the map. With hydrogen in the pipeline from HySynergy to Crossbridge Energy, we mark the beginning of what could become a new era. The new era, however, requires that legislation recognises that the use of green hydrogen instead of traditional hydrogen contributes to meeting the current displacement requirements for Danish fuels. We hope and expect, of course, that green hydrogen will also gain value, so it is not just an additional cost but truly kickstarts the transformation of the transport sector with large-scale production.” says Finn Schousboe, CEO of Crossbridge Energy A/S.
“First production and delivery of hydrogen to the refinery is a major milestone for Everfuel and Crossbridge Energy, which brings us one step closer to realising our vision of a sustainable hydrogen economy. It has been a long and complex journey, but now we are in a position to steadily ramp-up production. I would like to extend my gratitude to all the partners and stakeholders and especially our dedicated employees who have been instrumental in achieving this milestone. Further, I am deeply grateful for our patient partner and offtaker Crossbridge Energy who have been looking forward to receiving hydrogen from Everfuel. Together, we have taken a difficult first step in the green transition. Now society must follow,” says Jacob Krogsgaard, Founder and CEO of Everfuel.
HySynergy is a collaboration project between main partners Everfuel and Crossbridge Energy, with district heating operator TVIS as surplus heat offtaker.
Everfuel and Crossbridge Energy will use the coming period to steadily ramp-up production and optimise operations and intend to invite selected VIPs, stakeholders, partners and media to an official inauguration event later this year.
HySynergy I is co-owned with Hy24, the manager of the world’s largest hydrogen infrastructure fund, of which Everfuel owns 51% and Hy24 owns 49%.
HySynergy I 20MW is among the largest green hydrogen production projects in Europe and the project is supported with EUR 6.5 million from the Danish Energy Agency and co-funded by the European Union through the Connecting Europe Facility with EUR 3.8 million.
