Researchers and Danish industrial giant to deliver crucial pieces for green conversion
SDU, Aalborg University and Danfoss behind crucial research project on efficient conversion of green energy. The project is part of Erhvervsfyrtårn Sydjylland, focusing on green energy and sector coupling.
Researchers from SDU and Aalborg University, in collaboration with the Danish industrial giant Danfoss, will provide a crucial piece for the production of the green hydrogen, which plays an important role in the green transition in Denmark.
- It is a crucial but small first step that can help ensure the transformation, sector coupling and establishment of PtX (Power-to-X, ed.) production, which is necessary if Denmark is to become self-sufficient in green energy and reduce its CO2 emissions, says professor and head of the Center for Industrial Electronics (CIE) at SDU in Sønderborg, Thomas Ebel.
The researchers from the two Danish universities are, jointly with Danfoss, to develop an energy-efficient converter for PtX production, making possible large-scale conversion of green electricity from wind and solar into liquid green fuels. Fuels to be used where direct electrical energy is not suitable e.g., in the heavy transport sector or in industry.
