Njordkraft
The Njordkraft Hydrogen project involves the construction of a 1GW green hydrogen production facility in Esbjerg, Denmark. The hydrogen produced is planned to be distributed within Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Additionally, the Njordkraft Hydrogen facility will generate valuable by-products, such as excess heat supplied to the local district heating network.

Njordkraft Hydrogen will source electricity from existing and future offshore wind farms with a connection point at the Endrup substation, 17 km north-east of the site. Esbjerg's strategic location optimises the plant's integration with existing pipeline networks, fostering cost-competitive hydrogen markets and enhancing cross-border trade, especially between Denmark and Germany. This placement ensures access to key markets and underpins the project's viability.
In compliance with the EU's regulatory framework for green hydrogen (RED II/RED III/RFNBO), the power supplied to the plant will adhere to stringent sustainability standards. We have measures in place to ensure compliance, safety, and sustainability in our operations. Working alongside expert assurance providers, we verify compliant and safe designs, conduct risk assessments, adhere to industry practices for innovative technologies, and perform sustainability impact studies.
The Hydrogen is set to be distributed across Denmark, as well as to Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, through a transport pipeline being constructed under the joint responsibility of these countries. A significant portion of the hydrogen produced is expected to be utilised by Germany, supporting its transition to net-zero emissions in sectors such as steel production, on-road mobility, heat and power generation, and other industrial operations.
The project will contribute to the local economy by creating approximately 60 permanent jobs and up to 700 jobs during the construction phase. Additionally, the facility will produce CO2-neutral surplus heat, which offers the potential to supply the majority of households in Esbjerg with district heating.
