Danish government has designated Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy’s wind-to-hydrogen pilot project currently under development nearby the company’s Danish headquarters in Brande
as an official regulatory energy test zone.
The test zone permit gives Siemens Gamesa dispensation from electricity regulations in order to test its potential future application for both onshore and offshore wind.
The project, called Brande Hydrogen, is the first pilot project in the world to connect a wind turbine to an electrolyser with the ability to operate in ‘island mode’, i.e. driving an electrolysis rig with no link to an electricity grid, according to Siemens Gamesa. It couples an existing onshore 3 MW wind turbine with a Green Hydrogen Systems electrolyser stack to produce green hydrogen, which is then distributed by Danish company Everfuel to power Copenhagen’s fuel cell taxi fleet.
