In the port of Esbjerg, located in Denmark, the inauguration of a state-of-the-art energy storage facility at Semco Maritime recently took place.
In a joint effort, Hyme Energy, DIN Forsyning and various collaborators have completed the construction of the world’s first energy accumulator capable of storing green electrical energy from renewable sources in molten hydroxide salts. This event is part of the MOSS project and marks a milestone for the Danish energy industry by presenting a globally unprecedented solution.
MOSS project: innovative energy accumulator
During the event, prominent figures such as Søren Gade, President of the Danish Parliament and of Port Esbjerg, celebrated this achievement together with representatives of Hyme Energy and other partners. The new technology, located at the Semco Maritime facilities, has the capacity to store green electricity , which is essential for days of low sunlight or wind, contributing significantly to a balanced and environmentally friendly energy system.
Søren Gade highlighted the commitment of Danish companies to innovation and green solutions, underlining the importance of these advances for both business results and the climate. New energy storage technology in Esbjerg is seen as a key component for a successful energy transition.
Testing phase and global expansion plans
Following its inauguration, the facility will enter a testing phase to demonstrate the technology’s ability to store green electricity for a long time, with the aim of reusing it in the generation of steam and heat for industries and the general energy system. Subsequently, we seek to expand this technology to an industrial level for global commercialization.
It is important to note that the MOSS (Molten Salt Storage) project has seen the collaboration of companies such as Alfa Laval Aalborg, KIRT Energy Cluster Denmark has facilitated this project, supported by the Energy Technology Demonstration and Development Program (EUDP).
According to Ask Emil Løvschall-Jensen, CEO and co-founder of Hyme Energy, molten salt storage technology has the potential to play a crucial role in the energy transition by facilitating the replacement of fossil fuels with green electricity in the production of heat and steam. This innovation not only focuses on achieving a 2030 without CO₂ emissions, but also looks towards a sustainable 2050 .
Definitely, the development of the MOSS project benefits the environment and promises significant economic impacts by reducing dependence on fossil fuels and increasing energy efficiency in industrial processes, which could translate into substantial savings for companies and better competitiveness in the global market. .
