Topsoe

It was my pleasure to attend a dinner on Monday evening, hosted by Ralf Diemer and the eFuel Alliance . A small group of alliance members, policymakers, journalists, and industry leaders came together to discuss the scaling of renewable fuels. The centrepiece was a presentation of the Alliance's study on the market potential of eFuels: 📄 https://lnkd.in/eqM6CDBv Among the study's key recommendations: ➡️ Need for strong RFNBO mandates - under RED, ReFuelEU Aviation and FuelEU Maritime to create the long-term demand signals that bring projects to investment decisions. ➡️ Smart use of funding - using the EU Innovation Fund, European Hydrogen Bank, and ETS revenues to help close the cost gap. ➡️ Fit-for-purpose regulation - revisiting the Delegated Acts to ensure they enable rather than hinder the scale-up of eFuels. While electrification will transform much of the energy system, sectors like aviation, maritime, and heavy transport will need alternative solutions. eFuels can play a decisive role here - and companies like Topsoe and others across the value chain are ready to deliver them at scale. A big thank you to Lars Hummel and Tobias Block at the eFuel Alliance for a well-organised evening and a strong piece of work, to Thomas Jérémie Hayden-Lefebvre from Green Mobility Magazine for co-hosting, and great to see my good friend Tomas Malango from repsol - always a pleasure.

I look forward to represent Topsoe at the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition , next week. Please reach out if you are attending the exhibition and want to learn more about how TOPSOE's Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC) Technology can support your sustainable hydrogen production and be integrated into your decarbonization projects. #WHS #PtX #SOEC #eNH3 #eMeOH #eSAF

Together with the Topsoe team, we recently completed operator training for a renewable unit approaching startup. One point stood out clearly: → Operational flexibility is a core requirement for renewable fuels units. HydroFlex™ by Topsoe is a hydroprocessing technology that converts renewable feedstocks such as UCO and tallow into SAF and renewable diesel in the same unit, with high efficiency. In practice, flexibility shows up in several ways: - Feed flexibility: Handling a wide range of renewable and waste-based feeds. - Product flexibility: Switching between SAF and renewable diesel based on market demand. - High-yield performance: Supported by selective and advanced catalyst systems. That is also where HydroFlex™ stands out: Combining flexibility, control, and reliable performance to support stable and efficient operation. What made this training especially valuable was the strong commitment from our experienced client team. Their experience in both fossil and renewable processing led to deep, practical, and highly relevant discussions throughout the sessions. As the startup approaches, alignment and operational readiness across teams are key, and the Topsoe team is closely involved in supporting the unit through the startup. Looking forward to seeing these units come online. #HydroFlex #Topsoe #SAF #HVO #EnergyTransition #Refining

Some news at work this week genuinely made me pause and feel proud. Topsoe is partnering with Abundia Global Impact Group to roll out HydroFlex® technology for plastic waste-to-fuel projects in North America—and it feels like one of those steps that actually matters beyond boardrooms and balance sheets. Because the reality is hard to ignore. The world produces 350–400 million tonnes of plastic waste every year, and barely ~9% of it gets recycled. The rest sits in landfills, flows into rivers, or ends up in oceans—slowly breaking down into microplastics that come back to us through water, soil, and even the food we eat. In countries like India, this isn’t just a statistic—it’s visible around us every single day. What I find powerful about this initiative is the shift in thinking. Instead of asking “how do we dispose plastic?”, we’re asking “how do we use it better?” With HydroFlex®, plastic waste can be converted into fuels like diesel and even sustainable aviation fuel—using existing infrastructure. Each project is expected to produce around 1,500 barrels per day, which is not small when you think of the scale this can reach. And honestly, in today’s world, we’ve all seen how risky it is to depend too heavily on a single source of energy. Diversification is no longer a strategy—it’s becoming a necessity. This is why this development feels important. Not because it solves everything overnight—it doesn’t. But because it moves us in the right direction. A direction where waste becomes a resource. Where innovation meets responsibility. And where clean air, water, and soil are not just ideas—but outcomes we actively work towards. Glad to be a small part of that journey. #Topsoe #Sustainability #PlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #EnergyTransition #HydroFlex #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction https://lnkd.in/g9B4G6Bc

Decarbonizing Transport: Ammonia as the High-Density Low-Carbon Fuel The depletion of fossil fuels and surging energy demands, coupled with rising GHG emissions, demand urgent sustainable alternatives. Transport alone emitted 8.7 Gt CO2eq in 2019 (IPCC AR6)—23% of global energy-related CO2—with road vehicles at 70%, aviation at 12%, maritime 11%, and rail 1%. Emissions grew 1.7% annually, hitting a record 37.8 Gt in 2024. Key imperative: Deploy low-carbon fuels like ammonia, offering high energy/power density and compliance with strict standards. At Topsoe, we’re advancing ammonia technologies to drive deep decarbonization across road, rail, maritime, and aviation. Summary: Immediate shift to engineered low-carbon fuels is essential to reverse transport’s emissions trajectory. #SustainableTransport #GreenAmmonia #Decarbonization #Topsoe #LowCarbonFuels

Apparently, this is what I look like in the AI‑enhanced deep tech multiverse 🤖✨ (Reality may vary slightly, not sure if the mirror would agree😄) Jokes aside, I’m looking forward to joining Deep Tech Momentum 2026 in #Berlin this May. Within my role at Topsoe I am more than excited to be part of the conversations shaping Europe’s deep tech future across AI, energy, manufacturing and beyond. Reach out & see you at #DTM26 . 📍 Berlin | 20–21 May #DTM26 #DeepTechMomentum #DeepTech #AI #Innovation
