Haldor Topsoe to discuss innovation to combat climate change at
high-level meeting with US delegation

• Monday, a delegation from the US
Department of State will meet with a select group of Danish business
leaders to discuss Denmark’s contribution to the green energy
transition and how the two countries can collaborate for growth and a
sustainable future.
• Haldor Topsoe CEO and President Roeland Baan will participate to
present how the company’s technologies can support the Biden
Administration’s goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions
by 2050 and help US companies grow their businesses sustainably.
• Topsoe’s focus is to reduce carbon emissions by delivering
world-leading technologies to produce essential carbon-neutral fuels
and chemicals from renewable electricity.
President Biden has put the green energy
transition high on the agenda, and in Topsoe’s view, conversion of
renewable power to green fuels is paramount in widening the scope of
electrification to include air transport, shipping and heavy
transport.
“Today, the US is leading the world within the production of renewable
diesel from waste and vegetable oils, mainly using Topsoe technology.
The next step could very well be carbon-neutral fuels for planes,
ships and trucks based on renewable power from wind turbines and solar
cells. We are ready with the necessary technologies, and they can make
a significant contribution to the green energy transition on a global
scale,” says Roeland Baan, CEO, Topsoe.
Topsoe’s vision is to be recognized as the global leader in carbon
emission reduction technologies by 2024. A key component in this is
green hydrogen. Topsoe is a leader in high-performance electrolysis
that produces green hydrogen from water and renewable power. The
company’s proprietary technology is consistently more energy-efficient
than today’s standard electrolysis technologies. According to an
International Energy Agency (IEA) forecast, hydrogen has the potential
to fulfill 17% of the global energy demand by 2050.
As one of very few companies in the world, Topsoe has deep insight in
both electrolysis to produce green hydrogen and the production of
green fuels deriving from that hydrogen. This could be ammonia,
methanol, and other so-called e-fuels.
