By converting electricity into other forms of energy, Power-to-X gives us a way to store electricity in new forms. For example, power can be converted via electrolysis into hydrogen gas, which can be stored or used directly. It is a good fuel in pure form or can be combined with other elements to produce E-fuels or chemicals. Power-to-X is an essential element in the green transition because it facilitates storage of energy from renewable sources, for example in the form of green hydrogen from split water.

Society is being electrified to reduce our carbon footprint. The electric energy from renewable and carbon-free sources is used for direct electrification – and also for indirect electrification.
Direct electrification is the most efficient path to utilize the electric energy – some good examples are electric cars, electric delivery vans, electric short-range ferries – and of course electric industrial processes.
Indirect electrification, green hydrogen and power-to-X are terms which describe how we can electrify the difficult-to-abate sectors like aerospace, deep sea shipping, and heavy industries. Electrolysis using an electrolyzer is the key process in green hydrogen production from renewable electricity and water.
Green hydrogen is a clean fuel which can be used directly in heavy industries like steel and cement plants. It can also fuel heavy road transport – or extend the range of electric ferries, in the form of hydrogen fuel cells.
When compressed, green hydrogen can be transported in pipelines over long distances, just like compressed natural gas. Electrolyzer - produced hydrogen can also be stored in large volumes in underground caverns. Hydrogen gas can also be liquified under high pressure – but the volumetric power density is just one quarter of diesel and it is rather expensive to liquify hydrogen.
Apart from its usefulness in pure form, hydrogen is also the building block for many chemical processes. Hydrogen produced via the electrolyzer can be converted to E-fuels like sustainable aviation fuel, E-kerosene, E-methanol or E-ammonia which can decarbonize many sectors - even with conventional internal combustion engine technology. Hydrogen can also be used as raw material to produce fossil-free plastic and many other synthetical chemicals.
