The progression of PtX technologies within the last two decades, starting in Germany, seems to have developed into a success story, with currently more than 900 projects worldwide. At this time, a transition from small laboratory-scale pilot projects to large-scale commercial use can be observed. The PtX activities up to now have been followed and analyzed by LBST, who will continue to in the future.With the coupling of electricity, gas and transport as part of the clean energy transition, a new technical infrastructure is emerging in which the power-to-X concept (PtX), as a sector-coupling technology, can make a major contribution to the decarbonization of industry. Under the term PtX are systems that use electrical energy to generate hydrogen and, as needed, convert that hydrogen, with addition of carbon, into gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons.
