European Energy produces first e-methanol at Kassø
Mar 12, 2025


European Energy has been successful in commissioning the first methanol reactor at its Kassø Power-to-X-facility and first five tons is now produced

Copenhagen, Denmark, 12th of March, 2025 – European Energy has successfully produced the first e-methanol at the Kassø Power-to-X facility. The methanol was produced in the first methanol line out of 2 at the facility and was achieved using biogenic CO₂ sourced locally at the Biogas facility in Tønder.

The production will now be ramped up and the facility will have the capacity to produce 42,000 tonnes of e-methanol with three electrolysers from Siemens Energy and a methanol loop designed and constructed by European Energy.

The electrolysers has a combined capacity of 52.5 MW and is powered mainly by the nearby Kassø Solar Park facility which is also developed and operated by European Energy.

“We are thrilled to have produced the first e-methanol at our Kassø facility. This is a pivotal moment on the journey that started four years ago and the lessons learned will enable us to refine the process, improve efficiencies, and bring down costs for future projects,” says Emil Vikjær-Andresen, EVP and Head of Power-to-X at European Energy.

Some things just are not easily converted to using electricity or hydrogen. “E-methanol" can be used as a liquid fuel in some of these cases.
