European Energy expands site

Måde Power-to-X facility has been operating commercially with a 3.1 MW electrolyser from Stiesdal until recently. The newly installed electrolyser is from Plug Power.

The first hydrogen from the new electrolyser was produced on 10 December 2025 during an initial operational run in which the system delivered output at 10 per cent capacity and 40 bar pressure. This marks the transition of the project from installation to active commissioning and reflects the steady progression of the company’s Power-to-X activities in Denmark.

The expansion at Måde included two parallel workstreams. Alongside installing the new unit, the original Stiesdal electrolyser was replaced with a new and updated unit. This upgrade is intended to align the facility with current technical standards and support reliable operations as production scales over time.

In addition to the technical commissioning process, European Energy has completed the required audits to obtain ISO 9001 certification for operations as a gas distributor in Denmark. This certification forms part of the regulatory framework governing hydrogen delivery to end users. Hydrogen produced at the facility will be certified as RFNBO Hydrogen under the ISCC scheme.

“Expanding the electrolysis capacity at Måde is an important step in advancing our work with Power-to-X. The new unit allows us to test system performance under operational conditions and supports our aim to develop commercially viable hydrogen production based on up-to-date technical standards,” said Lars Dyrholm, Director and Head of PtX Asset Management & Operations at European Energy.

Over the next three to four weeks, the facility will undergo ongoing system tuning, performance optimisation, and verification activities. These steps are standard in the commissioning phase of Power-to-X assets and ensure that equipment, control systems and safety processes operate in accordance with design expectations. Once these phases are complete, the facility will be ready to supply hydrogen commercially. European Energy expects to deliver 550 t of green hydrogen, equal to approximately 1500 truckloads in 2026.

European Energy first produced hydrogen from its Måde facility in June 2024. The company intends to test various electrolysers at the facility to evaluate their commercial performance.
