Cost comparisons in international hydrogen trade: The PtX Business Opportunity Analyser (PtX-BOA)

Hydrogen is high on policy agendas around the world. In Germany, the federal government adopted a hydrogen import strategy in July and long-distance transmission network operators are setting up essential infrastructure for a hydrogen transport network. Current estimates indicate that Germany will need to import 50 to 70 per cent of its hydrogen requirements in 2030.

EU climate protection targets for 2040: Where are we heading?

In order for the EU to become climate-neutral by 2050, it has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 55 per cent by 2030 compared to 1990. The process of setting the EU’s energy and climate targets for 2040 has just begun. In February, the European Commission recommended that emissions should be reduced by 90 per cent by that year.

New tool informs about sustainability issues and chances for PTX supply countries

The interactive tool PTX Business Opportunity Analyser enables supply countries for Power-to-X (PtX) to evaluate their different products and compare with other countries.The tool was developed by the Oeko-Institut in a project funded by PtX-Hub and commissioned by Agora Energiewende and Agora Industry. PtX refers to hydrogen based on renewable electricity and other energy carriers produced from it, such as ammonia, synthetic methane, synthetic methanol and synthetic aviation and mobility fuels.
