Ørsted and Williams have signed an MOU to explore potential jointly developed Power-to-X projects in the U.S. Through the MOU, the two companies are identifying ways to leverage Ørsted’s renewables and hydrogen know-how with Williams’ natural gas infrastructure and processing experience to co-develop hydrogen or synthetic natural gas facilities powered by renewable energy.

As part of this agreement, the parties are exploring a large-scale wind energy, electrolysis, and synthetic gas-via-methanation co-development in western Wyoming where Williams owns significant land area and natural gas infrastructure.

"We’re excited to partner with Williams to deliver clean fuels in the US and transform our Onshore business into a potential growth platform for renewable hydrogen," said Vishal Kapadia, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Ørsted Onshore. "Combining our renewable development and operations expertise with access to large-scale gas transportation networks and infrastructure will further expand the scope of energy solutions we can deliver and positions us well to continue to develop innovative approaches to drive the decarbonization of the energy system."
