About
The CONVEY project will showcase how to build an integrated green hydrogen system in a port. 10 partners have joined forces to establish a sustainable hydrogen infrastructure in Northern Denmark, and the model will serve as an inspiration to other ports. The project has been awarded a € 9 million grant from the EU’s Horizon programme.
The project involves the construction of a 5 MW electrolysis plant, a large-scale refuelling station for trucks and distribution networks for hydrogen as well as oxygen and heat. By focusing on the principles of circularity, the project will ensure that all elements of the process are utilised efficiently and sustainably.
Deliverables
Applications
Most of the green hydrogen will be used to supplant natural gas in a local biorefinery, thus reducing the carbon footprint of the production. The remainder of the hydrogen will be used to fuel trucks. Oxygen and heat will be utilised in local aquaculture production.
Port of Hirtshals is in the windy north of Denmark with reliable green energy production potential from wind harvesting. At the same time the port is one of the major transport connections to Norway and an attractive location for various industries and logistic companies. The port is focusing its expansion on increasing the capacity of port operations as well as attracting companies and investments with focus on the green transition. This makes the port ideal for showcasing the potential of green hydrogen for decarbonisation and establishment of a zero-waste green energy system.
