Power to X The Next Big Step Towards Decarbonisation
The EU PTX strategy is working towards the installing of at least 6 GW of renewable hydrogen electrolysers in the EU by 2024 and 40 GW by 2030. With an ambitious goal of becoming fossil fuel-free by 2050, Denmark is a front runner in the Hydrogen Fuel Cells market.
Already a leader in Wind Power, Denmark is fast increasing its solar and bio-gas capacity and will reach its target of 70% CO2 reduction target by 2030. With some of the lowest power prices in Europe and some very innovative projects in the pipeline, it promises to be an exciting location for anyone interested in expanding in the PTX (Power to X) area.
This webinar attempts to inform and inspire the audience with some market perspectives, path-breaking and revolutionary projects, and some cutting-edge technologies which we hope will give you all a sense of what is going on in Denmark in the Power-to-X (PTX) space.
Ambassador Sandra Lande Jensen will kickstart the webinar by sharing some insight on the Danish governments focuses on the Green Transition followed by a broad overview by Invest in Denmark. Our speaker from Energinet will then talk about why PTX is dominating the green energy transition in Denmark. We will leave you with some latest Electrolysis technology insights from Haldor Topsoe, a global leader in this space, and part of the Temasek portfolio.
