Power-to-X
"Power-to-X" (PtX) refers to a group of technologies that convert surplus electricity, often from renewable sources like solar and wind, into other forms of energy or chemicals. By converting surplus energy into chemicals or fuels, it allows for more flexible storage and distribution of energy, contributing to balancing the energy system and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Landia is particularly focused on Power-to-Methane (PtM). Our facilities often interact with Power-to-Hydrogen (PtH2), where electricity is used to electrolyze water and produce hydrogen. Hydrogen is the secret ingredient for efficient methane production with InjectMe.
How does this work?
Hydrogen is produced from water. This requires electric power generated by renewable sources such as wind power or solar energy. The renewable eletricity is used for the electrolysis process, which splits water into oxugen anf hydrogen in a CO2-neutral way. Then carbon dioxide is used to transform the hydrogen into either a gas or liquid to serve as fuel. This process is called Power-to-X. X stands for methan, or liquid fuels like diesel, gasoline and kerosene, og solid synthetic fuel.
The conversion of renewable energy into synthetic fuels will finally allow the use of green energy for maritime transport and aviation as well as certain processes in the chemical industry.
By this way, PtX can make a key contribution to international climate protection.
Landia and Power-to-X
In the early stages, we identified the growing potential in the market for PtX plants. To position ourselves as frontrunners in this field, specialized expertise was essential.
That’s why we established an innovative collaboration with the Department of Bio- and Chemical Engineering at Aarhus University. Together with our skilled team, we are ready to lead the way in developing sustainable solutions!
