During the same period, the cost of wind generation has declined by 30-40%.<\/p><p>As a result, there has been a steep rise in the production of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE). VRE refers to energy that is produced intermittently due to the nature of the generation process instead of on-demand as with traditional generation. Apart from solar and wind, VRE sources also include tidal, and hydroelectric power. It is projected that by the year 2030, more than 80% of power generation in Europe will be from VRE sources.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55afd4c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"55afd4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"997\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/03\/chart-power-generation-europe-what-are-power-to-x-solutions-asschneider.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1517\" alt=\"Chart of power generation in Europe.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/03\/chart-power-generation-europe-what-are-power-to-x-solutions-asschneider.jpg 997w, https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/03\/chart-power-generation-europe-what-are-power-to-x-solutions-asschneider-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/as-schneider.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/03\/chart-power-generation-europe-what-are-power-to-x-solutions-asschneider-768x401.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0eb1a88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0eb1a88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Source: LUT; Energy Watch Group; \u00a9 DW<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0235447 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0235447\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9848d3d\" data-id=\"9848d3d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45da41b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"45da41b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is Power-to-X?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00b33db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"00b33db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Power-to-X (also known as P2X or PtX) describes the conversion of renewable electricity from wind, water or solar as primary energy into an energy carrier (&#8220;X&#8221;).<\/p><p>P2X allows storage of excess energy for later use while also absorbing energy fluctuations.

These fuels can be stored and converted back to electricity when generation from the renewable source is insufficient.<\/p><p>P2X solutions can also help in extending the use of renewable energy to sectors that are not directly connected to the electricity grid such as transportation, heating, and cooling. The coupling of these sectors with renewable power, through P2X solutions, can accelerate their decarbonization. An electrolyzer connected to the utility grid also provides flexible, low-cost load balancing services to the power system. It can be cycled up and down rapidly to balance demand and supply.<\/p><p>P2X solutions can also be used to supply energy from areas with high generation to areas with high demand. For example, some of the best wind resources are often located offshore or in rural areas where demand is low. Wind energy can be converted to hydrogen, which can then be transported to regions with energy deficits or high demand.

The durability of storage system is currently inadequate and better materials are required to prolong equipment lifetime.<\/p><p>Some of the challenges in the implementation of P2X solutions are summarized below:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20d6092 elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"20d6092\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Higher energy costs<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Require significant investment in infrastructure<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">High weight and volume of hydrogen storage facilities<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Low energy efficiency in hydrogen storage<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Lack of durable materials for hydrogen storage<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Lack of codes and standards for hydrogen<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a8a5fcc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a8a5fcc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-459c75f\" data-id=\"459c75f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95245af elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"95245af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Implemented P2X solutions <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14fd878 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14fd878\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>P2X solutions are being implemented on an industrial scale around the globe to accelerate our journey towards an emission-free future. Although most currently installed projects are still on a relatively small scale, ranging from 5-100 MW, they are expected to become key stepping stone towards the implementation of more efficient large-scale plants. Some of these pioneering projects are discussed below.<\/p><p>In Denmark, Air Liquide along with other technological and commercial partners has installed a power-to-Hydrogen project named <a href=\"https:\/\/hybalance.eu\/\">HyBalance<\/a>. The project, completed in October 2020, is intended to demonstrate the role of hydrogen in energy systems. Hydrogen is produced from water electrolysis powered by electricity from wind turbines. The project helps balance the grid, and provides hydrogen gas for use in clean transportation and the industrial sector. The project will help in identifying additional revenue streams from hydrogen. It will also help in the development of a regulatory environment necessary to improve the implementation of power-to-hydrogen solutions.<\/p><p>In Rhineland, Germany, a 10 MW electrolyzer has been installed at a large oil refinery, to provide hydrogen for refinery operations. The <a href=\"https:\/\/refhyne.eu\/de\/homepage-2\/\">REFHYNE<\/a> project is expected to replace the existing hydrogen supply from steam methane reformers. The electrolyzer will also be useful in balancing the refinery\u2019s internal electricity grid that provides primary control reserve services to German transmission system operators. The pilot project will provide data necessary to identify conditions under which an electrolyzer can become financially feasible. Plans for a larger 100 MW electrolyzer at the same refinery, are also in the works and rely upon the results of the pilot project.<\/p><p>In China, the Chinese National Energy Administration is installing <a href=\"https:\/\/irena.org\/-\/media\/Files\/IRENA\/Agency\/Topics\/Innovation-and-Technology\/IRENA_Landscape_Solution_11.pdf?la=en&amp;hash=2BE79AC597ED18A96E5415942E0B93232F82FD85\">electric boilers<\/a> with a capacity of 50 MW, in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to avoid curtailment of wind power generation. The region has more than 22.3 GW of installed wind power but up to 15% curtailment was necessary due to transmission constraints. The heat generated will be provided to the district heating system that previously depended on coal boilers. The project will replace about 2.8% of annual district heat generation.<\/p><p>In Sweden, the utility company Vattenfall is investing around EUR 100 million in <a href=\"https:\/\/irena.org\/-\/media\/Files\/IRENA\/Agency\/Topics\/Innovation-and-Technology\/IRENA_Landscape_Solution_11.pdf?la=en&amp;hash=2BE79AC597ED18A96E5415942E0B93232F82FD85\">three Power-to-Heat units<\/a> with a combined heating capacity of 120 MW. Excess wind energy will be used to heat water, that will be transmitted to residences and commercial buildings. These units have been designed to replace a coal-fired plant with a capacity of 330 MWh.<\/p><p>Airbus sees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbus.com\/en\/newsroom\/news\/2021-07-power-to-liquids-explained\">Power-to-Liquid<\/a> (PtL) as a key solution in terms of climate impact as well as cost and scalability. PtL promises to provide an alternative fuel that is JetA\/JetA1-approved. The company has partnered with the SAF+ Consortium to target wide-scale PtL production. The alternative fuel offers the high energy density, required for high-power transport modes over long distances. The pilot plant, located near Montr\u00e9al, Canada started production in 2021. Large-scale industrial production is expected by the year 2025.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-50d2684 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"50d2684\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e89a022\" data-id=\"e89a022\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cfb266 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8cfb266\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Summary<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fee3e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5fee3e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Declining cost of <strong>renewable power<\/strong>, favorable government policies, and more ambitious climate goals are driving the unprecedented growth in installed<strong> renewable power generation<\/strong> capacity.
