Fjord PtX not only marks a billion-euro investment in PtX. As with all CIP-managed projects, it strives to create a significant, positive impact on both job creation and climate in accordance with CIP’s ethical policy and the UN Guiding Principles. It is estimated that the plant will generate up to 200 permanent jobs, to support the local community and allign with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). 

A New Industry

Fjord PtX will support the ongoing transformation from fossil to renewable energy and provide valuable learning that can be transferred to other large PtX projects. The project therefore has the potential to act as one of the catalysts for a new PtX industry in Aalborg based on the knowledge and experience that is already available. Fjord PtX also offers a unique opportunity to strengthen Denmark's role in the production of eFuels and thereby ensure job creation in the next generation of storage technologies.The construction of the facility will require up to 2000 contractors, craftsmen, engineers, etc., and the completed facility will have up to 200 permanent jobs.


Emission-free district heating 

Emission-free district heating from Fjord PtX will be a significant contributor to the district heating system. The plant fits well into the sustainability strategy of the local utility company, Aalborg Forsyning, which aims to diversify its portfolio of energy sources and add future technologies to the supply chain. Aalborg Forsyning has therefore shown interest in using the excess heat from CO2-free SAF production, which is a good example of sector coherence as recommended in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Fjord PtX adds value to the local community by, amongst other things: 

  • Adding up to 200 permanent jobs 

  • Delivering district heating of approximately 11,000 households 

  • Being the focal point for a new green industry within PtX

CO2 Reductions

With an estimated CO2 reduction corresponding to the annual CO2 emissions of approximately 122,000 cars, Fjord PtX will make a significant contribution to CO2 neutrality. Fjord PtX will recycle 330,000 tons of CO2 annually, mainly from waste incineration at Nordværk, corresponding to the CO2 emissions of 17,000 Danish households. In addition, the use of the plant's excess heat will contribute with an additional CO2 reduction of ~13,500 tons of emission-free district heating.

Fjord PtX will make a 350-450 MW contribution to the EU's target of 40 GW of electricity coming from renewable hydrogen electrolysis by 2030. The EU strategy expresses the ambition for hydrogen to be an integral part of the EU's energy system by 2025 to 2030, with a production target of up to 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen. The plant also contributes to Denmark's national target of 4-6 GW of hydrogen electrolysis by 2030
