Conference at Christiansborg: Capture and use of CO2


Drivkraft Danmark, together with the Council for Green Transition, Danish Business and the Hydrogen Industry, had a conference at Christiansborg on January 16 on the capture and use of CO2 for the development of green fuels.


When we capture biogenic CO2, we must not only stuff it into our subsoil, we must also use it to produce green fuels, which will be particularly important in the transition of, among other things, heavy industry.


Denmark has the potential to become a global hub for the development of green fuels, and Danish companies are already well advanced in this development. However, this requires that there is sufficient access to biogenic CO2.


By increasing the focus on the use of CO2, we can strengthen a budding industry and secure Denmark's position as a key player in the green transition.

*we from Hydrogenerous cannot agree more- it is spot on~!


In the quest for sustainable energy, green hydrogen has emerged as a vital solution for both the EU and Denmark. Not only is the demand for green hydrogen on the rise, but Denmark also offers a promising method of production that does not rely exclusively on offshore wind energy.


This blog post explores how Denmark can expand its hydrogen production capabilities using Hydrogenerous current catalysis & technologies and carbon capture, shaping a new energy landscape.

Amidst growing concerns of sabotage, offshore wind farms, present a vulnerable target due to their remote locations expansive setups, and costly infrastructure.

To meet the substantial hydrogen demand across the EU, Denmark can harness its advancements in catalysis technology combined with innovative carbon capture techniques. The aim is to produce hydrogen at a large scale by utilizing stored CO2 and water instead of being solely dependent on how wind energy sources perform. This strategy not only fosters economic development but also contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by utilization.


The Role of Catalysis Technology


Catalysis & technology is essential for producing green hydrogen efficiently. By initiating chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into hydrogen, this process eliminates the need for traditional hydrogen generation methods, which are often fossil fuel-dependent.


Denmark is poised for significant advancements, particularly with an investment initiative amounting to DKK 38 billion for CCS. This ambitious plan targets an annual CO2 capture of nearly 200 million tons. Utilizing CO2 with advanced catalysis & technology, this captured carbon could be transformed into about 66.7 million tons of valueble green hydrogen.

This underground pool reactor is designed for the sustainable production of green hydrogen with a number of innovative features: Key Features Silent operation: The reactor is powered by chemically clean reaction , no noise pollution, no electricity used for the process, only for flow systems of water and CO2. 100% Eco-friendly solution: The reactor is constructed with eco-friendly materials and the process consumes CO2. Built using durable concrete and stainless steel, ensuring long life and resistance to environmental factors. Integration with nature or urban areas as industrial application. Expected operational lifetime of 30 to 50 years, providing a long-term solution for hydrogen production with fast ROI. Low operating costs: Designed to minimize operating costs, making it economically viable for long-term use. This innovative reactor represents a significant advance in sustainable energy technology, contributing to the global shift towards renewable energy sources. The reactor is being overbuilt with tanks for CO2 storage and green hydrogen, as well as flow systems.

This transformation holds the potential for Denmark to not only fulfill its domestic hydrogen needs but also emerge as a key exporter to other EU countries that aim to achieve their green energy targets. By positioning itself as a front-runner in hydrogen production, Denmark can enhance its standing in European energy markets.


Economic Growth: Funding and Implementation


To bring these ambitious hydrogen production goals to life, significant funding is critical. Organizations like Hydrogenerous are at the forefront, demonstrating practical solutions through research and collaboration.


At the recent Hydrogen Conference held at Borgen, Hydrogenerous highlighted that large-scale hydrogen production can occur without reliance on offshore wind. While renewable sources are essential, this approach allows for a steady hydrogen supply 24 hour a day, even during less favorable weather.

Projections indicate that the hydrogen sector can generate an annual value by adopting these innovative production techniques, Denmark can meet its energy needs and contribute significantly to a broader EU strategy for climate goals. If we set the value of green hydrogen at just 25 DKK H2/kg.. then you get 41,666,666,666.66 DKK for the CO2 capture in DKK. + plus carbon credits benefits. It is a golden future to capture and utilize CO2 with hydrogenous catalysis and technologies.


Green Hydrogen: A Strategic Component of Energy Transition


Green hydrogen is more than just an energy source; it's a strategic asset for various industries, including transportation, heating, and manufacturing. As countries work to lessen their dependence on fossil fuels, hydrogen will play a pivotal role in achieving energy security and promoting sustainability.


The proposed carbon utilization techniques for hydrogen production in Denmark tackle a significant dual challenge: fostering economic growth and cutting down greenhouse gas emissions. By repurposing stored CO2, Denmark can reduce the carbon footprint linked to hydrogen production and promote circular economy initiatives.


Collaboration and Future Prospects


Denmark's hydrogen ambitions requires collaboration across multiple sectors, from government agencies to private enterprises. Funding for research and development is essential for improving catalysis technology, making large-scale hydrogen production more efficient and cost-effective.

Looking Ahead: The Path to a Sustainable Future


Denmark's capability to meet the EU's green hydrogen requirements stems from its mix of natural resources and cutting-edge technology in carbon capture and catalysis. Initiatives like those spearheaded by Hydrogenerous demonstrate Hydrogenerous international development and Denmark's commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions.


By creatively using stored CO2 and water through innovative technologies, Denmark can be able to produce hydrogen independent of offshore wind.


This approach not only drives economic growth but also tackles climate change. As green hydrogen demand rises within the EU, Denmark's strategies could secure its position as a crucial player in a more sustainable energy landscape.


The vision of a hydrogen-powered future is becoming more tangible. With ongoing discussions, technological innovations, and investment initiatives, Denmark is on a promising path toward a greener tomorrow.
