WORKSHOP
“Power-to-X and Sector Coupling”
We bring together leading academic scientists and researchers!
November 12th, 2026 1pm - 5pm
Scope of the event
Power-to-X (PtX) technologies convert renewable electricity into hydrogen and hydrogen-derived energy carriers, enabling integration across multiple sectors including fuels, chemicals, and energy storage. This sub-workshop explores the full spectrum of PtX pathways, including Power-to-Ammonia, Power-to-Methanol, Power-to-Fuels, and hydrogen-based synthetic chemicals.
The workshop addresses technical, economic, and system-level challenges such as conversion efficiency, integration with renewable power, seasonal energy storage, and cross-sector market dynamics. Academic contributions focus on process design, system modelling, and optimisation, while industry speakers share experiences from pilot projects, industrial demonstrations, and large-scale deployment initiatives.
Participants will gain insights into how PtX can support decarbonisation goals, reduce fossil fuel dependence, and create new hydrogen value chains. The session also evaluates market potential, cost trajectories, and scalability to identify priority pathways for policy and investment.
Extended Key Takeaways & Outputs
- Identification of priority Power-to-X pathways for decarbonisation
- Assessment of market demand across fuels, chemicals, and energy storage
- Cost and scalability outlook for industrial deployment
- Roadmaps for integrating PtX with renewable electricity and hydrogen infrastructure
