Renewable Energy Liquefied for Tomorrow - the world’s first large-scale e-methanol facility in Denmark (lecture language: English)
Sectors like shipping, aviation, and chemicals must become CO₂ neutral. The challenge is that direct electrification isn’t feasible in these industries—but now, there are scalable alternatives. Kassø, the world’s first large-scale e-methanol production site, turns renewable energy, water, and CO₂ into a green fuel and chemical. This innovation offers a viable path for industries that can’t plug in to reduce their carbon footprint, helping companies and Europe realise net-zero targets.
E-methanol brings massive potential for real climate impact. From shipping to materials, it helps decarbonise industries that can’t be directly electrified and paves the way for the production of more sustainable plastics materials.
In his input Johannes Thon will show how European Energy is putting e-methanol to work in Denmark - together with strong partners like the LEGO Group, Novo Nordisk, and A.P. Moller – Maersk.
Germany is one of the most important markets for hydrogen and e-methanol from Denmark. Johannes Thon demonstrates why it is essential to eliminate uncertainty around the hydrogen economy and a close coordination between the Danish and German governments is needed.
