Jacob Krogsgaard, CEO and Founder of Everfuel, said: “HySynergy is a symbol of Denmark leading the way in Europe’s green transition. We have now shown that green hydrogen can be produced at industrial scale, delivered to industry – and exported. For years, Denmark has talked about the potential of green hydrogen. Now we are showing that it is possible in practice, paving the way for the establishment of a real value chain and, in the coming years, a multiplication of production capacities as the hydrogen pipeline to Germany becomes available.”
The HySynergy project was developed in collaboration with Crossbridge Energy Fredericia refinery, which already uses green hydrogen from the plant for liquid fuel production.
Finn Schousboe, CEO of Crossbridge Energy, commented: “For Crossbridge Energy, the collaboration with Everfuel is an important milestone. We already use 35 tonnes of hydrogen per day in our production. That hydrogen is produced from fossil crude oil, but it can be replaced with green hydrogen, and we are already doing so in practice. Unfortunately, there is currently no incentive to keep improving. We have shown that we can – now legislation must keep up with developments so we can deliver on Denmark’s major green ambitions.”
HySynergy is co-owned by Hy24, which manages a clean hydrogen infrastructure fund. The facility is one of Europe’s largest green hydrogen production projects and received €6.5 million support from the Danish Energy Agency, along with €3.8 million co-financing from the European Union via the Connecting Europe Facility.
Everfuel stated that HySynergy is the first step in its goal to establish over 2 GW of electrolysis capacity in Denmark by 2035. Plans include future expansions of HySynergy and the development of Project Frigg, a large-scale plant at Revsing Energy Park near Vejen, designed to deliver hydrogen directly to German industrial customers through a forthcoming hydrogen pipeline.
The project demonstrates the practical viability of industrial-scale green hydrogen production, export capability, and cross-border supply integration, supporting Denmark’s transition to low-carbon energy and strengthening Europe’s hydrogen infrastructure.
HySynergy’s operational start highlights the increasing industrial demand for green hydrogen and serves as a model for scaling production, building supply chains, and expanding renewable energy usage in European industry. It also underscores the collaboration between private companies, government agencies, and EU programs in accelerating clean energy adoption across borders.
