Balancing partner and hydrogen solutions
Michael Koenig, CEO of Nobian: “Nobian Dansk Salt is uniquely positioned to contribute to the hydrogen infrastructure and the hydrogen economy. To build sustainable hydrogen chains, we must promote knowledge sharing, research, technological innovation, and infrastructure development. This collaboration, the first hydrogen storage partnership between partners in the Netherlands and Denmark, addresses the need to develop hydrogen storage solutions in Denmark.”
Nobian Dansk Salt’s site director, Søren Møller: “We are very pleased with this collaboration, which aligns perfectly with our new role as a key enabler and balancing partner in green energy production, storage, and grid stability. Leveraging our many years of experience in salt and steam production, Nobian Dansk Salt aims to deliver large-scale hydrogen storage solutions, which are key to the future flexibility and stability of the hydrogen grid.”
By exploring the development of hydrogen storage caverns, both companies aim to support and unlock Denmark's renewable energy potential and position the country as a leading hub for hydrogen in the Nordic region. The collaboration is part of our ambitious Grow Greener Together sustainability program. Nobian aims to be one of the most sustainable chemical companies in the EU, and to be carbon-neutral by 2040, using 100% renewable electricity.
Supporting the green transition
Gas Storage Denmark’s CEO, Martin Christensen: “In a future green energy system, where a significantly larger share of production will come from variable sources like wind and solar, the challenge of balancing the energy system will intensify. Green hydrogen produced from renewable sources, along with hydrogen storage, is anticipated to play a critical and decisive role. Not only in ensuring a steady supply of green fuels but also in maintaining a constant balance between electricity production and consumption. Gas Storage Denmark has decades of experience in energy storage, and together with Nobian Dansk Salt, we will explore new opportunities to support the green transition."
