European Energy has started its hydrogen production at the expanded MÃ¥de Power-to-X facility after the successful installation along with the commissioning of another electrolyser. Due to this expansion, the electrolysers at the site have increased from 3.1 MW to 8.1 MW.
The MÃ¥de Power-to-X facility has been functioning 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 in an initial operational run wherein the system rolled out output at 10% capacity and 40 bar pressure. This goes on to mark the transition of the project right from installation to active commissioning and also reflects the steady progression of the Power-to-X activities of the company in Denmark.
The expansion at MÃ¥de went on to include two parallel workstreams. Apart from installing the new unit, the original Stiesdal electrolyser got replaced with a new as well as an updated unit. This upgrade is intended so as to align the facility with the present technical standards and also support dependable operations as the production scales with time.
Besides the technical commissioning process, European Energy has accomplished the required audits in order to obtain ISO 9001 certification for operations as a gas distributor in Denmark. This certification goes on to form a part of the regulatory framework that governs the hydrogen delivery to end users. Hydrogen produced at the facility is going to be certified as RFNBO hydrogen as per the ISCC scheme.
According to the Director and Head of PtX Asset Management & Operations at European Energy,
Lars Dyrholm, expanding the electrolysis capacity at Måde is quite a significant step when it comes to advancing their work with Power-to-X. He further states that the new unit tests the system performance under the operational conditions and supports their objective to develop commercially viable hydrogen production that is based on up-to-date technical benchmarks.
In the next three to four weeks, the facility will go through system tuning, optimisation of performance, and also verification activities. These steps are indeed standard when it comes to the commissioning phase of Power-to-X assets and make sure that equipment and control systems, as well as safety processes, function in accordance with the design anticipations. Once these phases are over, the facility is going to be ready to supply hydrogen in a commercial form. European Energy anticipates rolling out 550 tonnes of green hydrogen, which is equal to almost 1,500 truckloads, in 2026.
Notably, European Energy went on to first produce hydrogen from its MÃ¥de facility in June 2024. The company looks forward to testing numerous electrolysers at the facility in order to assess their commercial performance.
