European Energy produces first e-methanol at Kassø
14 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 two 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 electrolyzers from Siemens Energy and a methanol loop designed and constructed by European Energy.
The electrolyzers have a combined capacity of 52.5 MW and are powered mainly by the nearby Kassø Solar Park facility which is also developed and operated by European Energy.
The achievement follows closely after the facility began producing green hydrogen in January 2025. Now, by combining hydrogen with biogenic CO₂ in the reactor, the first methanol has been successfully produced—demonstrating the functionality of the plant’s methanol loop.
The facility will be fully ramped up during second quarter of 2025.
