Equinor wants to build a strong foothold in Denmark focusing on business opportunities within the renewable energy industry and new value chains such as carbon capture and storage (CCS).
We opened our first office in Denmark in January 2024. We are also present in Denmark through our subsidiaries the energy trading house Danske Commodities, and the leading solar developer BeGreen.
In June 2024 Equinor was awarded its first CCS exploration permit in Denmark as operator, together with partners Ørsted and Nordsøfonden.
The partnership will make surveys to assess if the onshore licence in the North West Zealand can be developed into a safe CO2 storage facility. More about the project at the link below.
In 2019, Equinor acquired Danske Commodities, a leading energy trading house. Danske Commodities trades power and gas across borders and uses its market knowledge and trading capabilities to support customers including renewable producers, conventional asset producers and energy suppliers.
The EUR 400 million acquisition of Danske Commodities (DC) supports our development as a broad energy company and strengthens our ability to capture value from our production of renewable electricity.
DC’s market presence and expertise in energy trading also complements our position as the second-largest supplier of natural gas to Europe and as one of the world’s largest net-sellers of crude oil.
Equinor acquired BeGreen, a leading Danish solar project developer in 2023, to strengthen our capabilities and pipeline within solar PV.
The 65 MW Ingerslev Å solar plant in Jutland is in commercial production since June 2025. The co-located 20MW/40 MWh Ingerslev Å battery storage asset is under construction.
The power from the BeGreen portfolio will be commercialised in the energy market by Danske Commodities.
