European Energy has commenced hydrogen production at its expanded Måde Power-to-X facility following the successful installation and commissioning of an additional electrolyser. With this expansion, the total electrolysis capacity at the site has increased from 3.1 MW to 8.1 MW. The Måde facility had been operating commercially with a 3.1 MW electrolyser supplied by Stiesdal. The newly installed electrolyser, provided by Plug Power, produced its first hydrogen on 10 December 2025 during an initial operational run, operating at 10 percent capacity and 40 bar pressure. This milestone marks the transition from installation to active commissioning and underscores European Energy’s ongoing development of Power-to-X activities in Denmark.

The expansion at Måde involved two parallel workstreams. In addition to installing the new Plug Power electrolyser, the original Stiesdal unit was replaced with an updated version to align the facility with current technical standards and ensure reliable operations as production scales. Alongside technical commissioning, European Energy has completed audits to obtain ISO 9001 certification as a gas distributor in Denmark. This certification is part of the regulatory framework for hydrogen delivery to end users. Hydrogen produced at the facility will also be certified as RFNBO Hydrogen under the ISCC scheme, ensuring compliance with recognized sustainability standards.

Lars Dyrholm, Director and Head of PtX Asset Management & Operations at European Energy, stated that the expansion of electrolysis capacity at Måde represents a significant step in advancing the company’s Power-to-X initiatives. He highlighted that the new unit enables testing of system performance under operational conditions and supports the development of commercially viable hydrogen production based on up-to-date technical standards. Over the next three to four weeks, the facility will undergo system tuning, performance optimisation, and verification activities as part of the standard commissioning phase for Power-to-X assets.

These processes will ensure that equipment, control systems, and safety measures operate according to design specifications. Upon completion, the facility will be ready to supply hydrogen commercially, with European Energy projecting an output of 550 tonnes of green hydrogen in 2026—equivalent to approximately 1,500 truckloads. European Energy first produced hydrogen at the Måde facility in June 2024. The company plans to test multiple electrolysers at the site to evaluate their commercial performance, reinforcing its commitment to advancing green hydrogen production and supporting Denmark’s energy transition.
