Project description

This project is a core part of the MissionGreenGuel’s roadmap, relative to its near-term effect as a demonstration site and deployment catalyst for new heavy duty hydrogen fuelling infrastructure and vehicles. Development and demonstration of high-capacity hydrogen refuelling stations, further, to be tested and validated in a real operational environment with first prototypes of key heavy-duty FCEVs, plays a central role to ‘’kick-start’’ the green hydrogen uptake for heavy duty zero emission road transport in Denmark, underpinning the roadmap’s 2030/2050 ambitions.

Leveraging on the flagship 20 MW electrolyser and established site infrastructure in the HySynergy project in central Denmark Fredericia, which is currently under construction and set to open Europe’s largest facility of its kind in the end of 2022, this project will develop and demonstrate a test-site for safety test and validation of the hydrogen refuelling technologies interlinked to the hydrogen production and multi-ton storage buffer in real operational environment.

Impact & outcome

  • Established the test-site directly connected with large-scale PtX facility.
  • Planning of hydrogen distribution pipeline from PtX facility to fuelling station site, including interaction with stakeholders.
  • Enable the centrally located, national demonstration and validation site for new types of heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles in actual use, concurrent with fuelling technology developments and used for e.g., PtX fuel distribution, infrastructure service and broader operator trials.
  • Gain critical, real-life operating experiences from technology demonstration of both fuelling and vehicles.
  • Facilitate first validation and optimization of heavy-duty fuelling with Danish developed technology, adhering to ongoing specification of the new HD fuelling protocol SAE J2601-3.

The green fuel value chain and cross-cutting themes

Resource procurement (Input)
Identification, sourcing, and supply of biomass, CO₂, green electricity, or waste materials (feedstock) used as input for fuel production.
Fuel production
Processes that transform the basic energy resources into primary energy carriers (e.g. hydrogen).
Refining and upgrading
Processes that purify, enhance or synthesize fuels/hydrogen to meet specific quality and performance standards.
Storage
Technologies and systems for containing larger quantities of fuels (methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, SAF) over time.
Transport
Logistics and infrastructure for moving fuels from production to consumption sites, covering pipelines, trucks, ships, etc.
Distribution
End-point delivery for supplying fuels to users (e.g. fuelling stations, industrial supply lines, on-site storage).
Utilisation
Application of the fuels in end-use sectors such as heavy transport, aviation, shipping, and power generation in industry. The end-user is responsible for sourcing of energy/fuels, as well as new technologies and assets capable of utilising these, often with the purpose of reducing GHG emissions and environmental impact. Furthermore, end-users are also responsible for meeting new regulatory requirements and handling all technical and commercial risks related to the application of new and more expensive energy, following the energy transition. Utilisation includes extensive field testing of new technologies and fuels to overcome technical challenges and test production and supply chain infrastructure.
Post-treatment and recycling
Handling of byproducts, residues or emissions, and processes for material recovery or environmental management.
Safety and standardisation
Development and application of safety protocols, technical standards and certifications to ensure secure handling and interoperability.
Systems integration / sector coupling
Linking fuel production and use with other energy systems and sectors (e.g. power-to-x, grid balancing, industrial symbiosis) to optimise efficiency and resilience. Primarily an analytical focus.
Community work and stakeholder involvement
Engagement of local actors, citizens and industry stakeholders to support implementation, acceptability and social sustainability.
Structural frameworks, regulation, and markets
Analysis, development and test of policy, regulatory structures, incentive mechanisms, and market models to enable deployment and scaling.
