UPSCALING PROCESS AT VANDCENTER SYD

For the past two years the pilot plant at VandCenter Syd has served as a test plant in preparation for the coming larger demonstration plant. Many interested scientists, NGOs, politicians, and even H. R. H. Crown Prince Frederik have paid a visit to the pilot plant.

During 2022, the near-industrial size demonstration plant has been designed. The new plant will be constructed and commissioned during 2023 and will, when finalized, demonstrate the scalability of the technology. We expect the demonstration plant to attract many more visitors and potential buyers in the future to come.

The demonstration plant is built with industrial components to ease the later upscaling to a fullsize industrial plant. The plant consists of:

• An absorber: PureteQ scrubber technology for CO2 absorption (the three absorber towers on the technical drawing on p. 9)

• An electrolyzer: Electro-chemical cell for H2 desorption and related tanks, pump & control panel (left part of the technical drawing on p. 9)

We expect the first commercial plant to be designed in 2024, depending on the availability of clean electricity, which is the main barrier to all Power-to-X technologies.
