H2RES will have a capacity of 2 MW and will be situated on Ørsted s premises on Avedøre Holme in Copenhagen. The project will investigate how to best combine an efficient electrolyser with the fluctuating power supply from offshore wind, using Ørsted s two 3.6 MW offshore wind turbines at Avedøre Holme.
The facility will produce up to around 1,000 kg of renewable hydrogen a day, which will be used to fuel zero-emission road transport in the Greater Copenhagen area and on Zealand. The project is expected to produce its first hydrogen in late 2021.
In less than three years, Ørsted has, with partners, established nine renewable hydrogen projects in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom so far, spanning from demonstration projects like H2RES to industrial-scale visions like the potentially 1,300 MW Green Fuels for Denmark project.
Denmarkâs Orsted has started the onsite construction work on the H2RES project in Copenhagen, the company said on May 17. Danish Climate, Energy and Utilities Minister
Dan Jorgensen led the groundbreaking ceremony, marking the onsite construction start of Orsted’s first renewable hydrogen project.
According to Orsted, H2RES will have a capacity of 2 MW and will be situated on Orsted’s premises on Avedøre Holme in Copenhagen. The project will investigate how to best combine an efficient electrolyser with the fluctuating power supply from offshore wind, using Orsted’s two 3.6 MW offshore wind turbines at Avedore Holme.

Denmark designates historic energy test zones to support green energy transition
The Danish government has today (5
th May) designated energy test zones to two danish companies to support a transition to green energy and hydrogen.
The clean energy industrial cluster GreenLab and Siemens Gamesa’s Brande hydrogen project have both been selected as the designated companies that will act as official regulatory energy test zones.
The test zone permit gives GreenLab and Siemens dispensation from electricity regulations and brings Denmark one step closer to the integration of unprecedented amounts of renewable energy into the energy grid.
These designated test zones will be a one of a kind in Europe and the insights will be valuable for all of Europe’s green transition – including clean energy storage, green fuels, agriculture and industry.
