Criticism of palm-oil-based sustainable aviation fuel project
Topsoe's investment in a planned Manaus, Brazil, facility producing sustainable aviation fuel from palm oil was criticized by Danish media and environmental experts. Critics argued that palm-oil cultivation can contribute to deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate emissions, and that sustainability certification would not necessarily resolve the underlying feedstock concerns.

Criticism of green-hydrogen lobbying
Corporate Observatory Europe criticized Topsoe's participation in European Union-level lobbying concerning higher green-hydrogen targets and expanded public funding for hydrogen infrastructure. The criticism focused on the possibility that policy emphasis and funding could be diverted toward hydrogen projects rather than nearer-term emissions-reduction measures.
