Danish energy company Everfuel has officially inaugurated HySynergy, a 20 MW green hydrogen production facility in Fredericia, Denmark. The company has also completed its first export of RFNBO-certified green hydrogen to Germany, marking the first time such hydrogen produced in Denmark has been sent abroad, reported Offshore Energry.
Everfuel’s CEO and founder, Jacob Krogsgaard, described the event as a milestone in Europe’s clean energy transition.
“HySynergy is a symbol of Denmark leading the way in Europe’s green transition,” Krogsgaard said. “We have now shown that green hydrogen can be produced at industrial scale, delivered to industry – and exported. For years, Denmark has talked about the potential of green hydrogen. Now we are showing that it is possible in practice, paving the way for a real value chain and future expansion as the hydrogen pipeline to Germany becomes available.”
Collaboration with Crossbridge Energy
The HySynergy project has been developed in partnership with the Crossbridge Energy Fredericia refinery, which already uses green hydrogen from the new plant in its production of liquid fuels.
Crossbridge Energy CEO Finn Schousboe said the partnership marks an important step for the refinery’s sustainability goals.
“We already use 35 tonnes of hydrogen per day in our production. That hydrogen is produced from fossil crude oil, but it can be replaced with green hydrogen—and we are already doing so,” Schousboe stated. “Unfortunately, there is currently no incentive to continue improving. We have proven that it can be done; now legislation must keep pace so Denmark can deliver on its green ambitions.”
Backed by European and Danish Funding
HySynergy is co-owned by Hy24, manager of a clean hydrogen infrastructure fund, and ranks among Europe’s largest green hydrogen production projects. The facility received €6.5 million in support from the Danish Energy Agency and €3.8 million in co-financing from the European Union’s Connecting Europe Facility.
Expansion Plans Toward 2035
The Fredericia facility represents the first phase of Everfuel’s broader strategy to establish more than 2 GW of electrolysis capacity in Denmark by 2035. Future developments include expansions of HySynergy and the planned Project Frigg, a large-scale hydrogen production site at Revsing Energy Park near Vejen.
From Revsing, Everfuel expects to supply hydrogen directly to German industrial customers through a dedicated hydrogen pipeline currently under development.
