Nel provided 10 MW of electrolyzer capacity for this pioneering project via four of the company’s well-known A485 machines. These electrolyzers will allow the facility to generate hydrogen from renewable energy, which will be converted into green ammonia.
“What makes this facility unique is its dynamic approach – the ammonia plant is connected directly to solar and wind power and can adapt to the inherent fluctuations in the output of these renewable sources. This allows for cost-effective production of green ammonia without the need for battery or hydrogen storage”, said Henning G. Langås.
Henning G. Langås, Senior Tender Manager at Nel Hydrogen, attended the inauguration alongside two Danish ministers: Lars Aagaard, Minister of Climate, Energy, and Utilities, and Thomas Danielsen, Minister of Transport.

Preventing 8,200 Tons of CO2 Emissions
According to the project partners, the plant will save 8,200 tons of CO2 yearly by creating over 5,000 tons of green ammonia.
“We are excited to be part of this groundbreaking project that demonstrates the real-world potential of green ammonia,” added Langås.
“By providing our reliable and efficient electrolyzer technology, we are contributing to a solution that can help decarbonize industries like shipping, agriculture, steel, and ammonia production.”

Collaboration Provides Valuable Insights
The Ramme plant could offer vital insights and expertise that could lead to larger Power-to-X ventures in the future.
“This project is a significant step forward in making green ammonia a viable alternative to fossil fuels, and it shows how Nel’s electrolyzers play an important role in enabling the transition to a renewable hydrogen economy,” continued Langås.
“We look forward to continued collaboration with partners like Topsoe, Vestas, and Skovgaard Energy to scale up this technology and accelerate the green transition.”
