Ørsted takes final investment decision on first renewable hydrogen project

Ørsted has decided to take the final investment decision on the H2RES renewable hydrogen demonstration project at Avedøre Holme in Copenhagen, Denmark.

H2RES will be Ørsted’s first renewable hydrogen project in operation. It will have a capacity of two MW and will produce up to around 1,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen daily.

The hydrogren, which will be produced with the aid of offshore wind energy, will be used to fuel road transport in Greater Copenhagen and on Zealand.

The project is expected to produce its first hydrogen in late 2021.
