Power-to-X

Hydrogen is the simplest element in the universe. However, extracting, transporting, and storing it is complex.

Hydrogen is suited to many industrial applications. The byproduct of burning hydrogen is water, rather than CO2. That means when we produce hydrogen sustainably from renewable energy, it can contribute to a zero carbon energy system by decarbonizing hard to abate industries.

So why aren’t we producing and using it everywhere?

Current hydrogen production methods emit a lot of CO2 unabated. But these processes are not the only way to produce hydrogen.

Our hydrogen production and storage technologies free hard to abate industries of their dependence on fossil fuels.

Renewable energy is critical to global decarbonization. But it can’t decarbonize the planet’s most energy intensive processes alone.

Renewable energy is part of the decarbonization story. However, some industrial processes, such as chemicals production, steelmaking, and long haul transport, aviation and shipping require other fuels and feedstocks.

That’s where our combination of established and emerging technologies – called power-to-X – can fuel the most energy intensive processes on earth, without the CO2 emissions.

What is power-to-X?

Power-to-X solutions turn renewable electricity into something else of value. The power-to-X term covers a group of technologies and processes that convert  renewable energy into different energy carriers or feedstocks. These include hydrogen, methanol, methane, and ammonia.

The range of power-to-X definitions include power-to-hydrogen, power-to-ammonia, power to methanol and power-to-power to name a few.

Power-to-X is suited to situations where renewable energy supply exceeds demand. It enables electricity generators to turn their excess renewable energy into monetizable liquid fuels or gases. However, at ElementOne we are dedicating power-to-X solutions, with the majority of them not grid connected. This means we can avoid the high network costs of transmission while utilising the power directly with no DC to AC back to DC conversions. Not only increasing our overall efficiency but lowering the cost substantially.

How does power-to-X work?

Every power-to-X pathway begins with lower emissions energy. This typically include solarwind, hydroelectric power, but can also include nuclear power. Our systems are tailored to operate on 100% intermittent renewable solar energy with proven reliability.

The next step is to transport this electricity to an electrolyzer. This device is critical to all power-to-X pathways. And our electrolyzer uses electrical energy to separate water into renewable hydrogen and oxygen in the most efficient way possible. Requiring only 36kWh of renewable electricity to produce 1kg of hydrogen.

This hydrogen typically needs costly compression and storage, by utilising our proprietary ammonia synthesis technology AMMONIAC, renewable hydrogen can be converted and stored as NH3 (Ammonia) requiring less than half the energy and capex cost of traditional hydrogen storage options.

Combining renewable hydrogen with nitrogen creates green ammonia. This is an important ingredient in chemicals and fertilizer production but is also a pathway to cheap energy storage.

This renewable energy can also be returned to the electricity grid during shortages. By storing electricity as renewable hydrogen in green ammonia – through power-to-X pathways – this energy can fuel gas turbines to generate electricity or be used in boilers to generate steam and then electricity. This pathway is called power-to-power, and it’s a form of energy storage. Here at ElementOne our power-to-power well to wheel or production to use round trip efficiency is reaching levels never before seen in the renewables market. And while our efficiency rival that of pumped hydro and battery storage our cost are far less. Bringing together the best of both worlds. cheap, decentralised, reliable and affordable power wherever it is needed.

There are other pathways to renewable Hydrogen and one of the best options is with Kimyia (Persian for alchemy) a proprietary technology turning waste into worth we have the ability to convert municipal solid waste into valuable liquid fuels with almost identical properties to fossil fuels in the transport sector. This requires a synthesis of renewable hydrogen with CO2 to produce liquids, such as methanol or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The opportunities of power-to-X

Power-to-X solutions provide a pathway for decarbonization. The end products – whether renewable hydrogen, synthetic fuels, green ammonia, or chemicals – reduce the need for fossil fuels in heavy industry. Power-to-X processes can therefore avert large volumes of CO2 emissions, so long as the energy intensive conversion steps are powered by zero carbon renewable energy.

Another advantage of power-to-X is flexibility. Power-to-hydrogen, power-to-ammonia, and power-to-methanol enable power generators to store their excess renewable energy for use in other industries. Or the stored energy can help to provide electricity for the power grid when weather conditions don’t suit renewable energy production.

Over time, power-to-X pathways have been forecasted to become cost competitive with traditional energy sources. With ElementOne’s collection of state of the art technologies and the cost of renewable energy falling, our power-to-X products already match or outperform traditional fuel prices.

Meanwhile, the cost of crude oil, natural gas and coal are increasingly volatile and may be burdened with an increasing price of carbon in many jurisdictions. This is an ongoing challenge for energy intensive industries and businesses.

The future of power-to-X

The technologies to produce renewable energy, and extract renewable hydrogen, are already available. And our power-to-X pathway is very similar with the exception of our dual frequency plasma electrolysis this revolutionary technology can create hydrogen at a fraction of the price of conventional electrolyzers – from creating valuable gases to synthetic fuels to grid balancing long duration energy storage our technology is proving itself in the real world.

The missing link in the power-to-X story is scale. But with each new project, scale increases. And the growing scale will see zero carbon fuels and feedstocks reduce global dependence on fossil fuels.

Over the coming years, our power-to-X pathways will operate alongside electrification to decarbonize the most challenging industries on earth. Every sustainable project in heavy industry brings net zero ambitions closer to reality.
