Groundbreaking ceremony for green ammonia plant in Northwest Jutland
West Jutland companies are hard at work at the town of Ramme in Lemvig Municipality, where the world’s first dynamic ammonia plant based solely on solar and wind energy is nearing completion. On Wednesday at 13.00, the topping-out ceremony will be held.
Local craftsmen and contractors have been hard at work and can now look forward to a topping-out ceremony with sausages and beer.
The buildings for the world’s first dynamic ammonia plant based entirely on solar and wind energy have been erected.
“We are now one step closer to completion. We would like to thank the many local suppliers and skilled craftsmen who have worked on the construction,” says Pat Han, Technical Director at Skovgaard Energy.
The partnership in the project – called Renewable Dynamic Distributed Ammonia Plant (Reddap) – includes Topsøe, Vestas and EUDP. The project has received funding from EUDP (The Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program) as it is a test and demonstration plant.
The plan is to produce 5,000 tons of green ammonia per year, which will be used for green fertilizer, among other things. Ammonia can also be used as a green marine fuel.
Local suppliers
A number of local suppliers have been hired for the many deliveries and tasks related to the project. This includes companies such as IBG, A/S Scan, Tjæreborg A/S, WH Planaction, Lomborg Installationsforretning, Rønn Entreprenør, Mogensen VVS, etc.
IBG welcomes the work and explains that the ambitious green energy plans in West Jutland have – and will in the future – create local jobs.
“We are incredibly happy to contribute to solving tasks that play a role in the green transition. Already now, the energy plans in West Jutland have meant new jobs locally and we certainly expect this to continue in the future,” says CEO Torben Jensen from IBG, headquartered in Lemvig.
The first ammonia is expected to be produced in early 2024.
