The Danish CCS tender for biogenic CO2 recently only secured 1/3 of its total goal of 0.5 million tons. This session dives into the present problems of making carbon a valuable and tradeable resource. We will explore the economic value and carbon pricing mechanisms driving PtX sectors, emphasizing carbon offsetting/storage and application/usage. The session uncovers innovative carbon management technologies tailored for PtX, and provides learnings from real-world case studies showcasing successful strategies in the industry.
Questions to be adressed:
Is carbon something we should remove and avoid, or a resource to be exchanged?
What characterizes the successful cases of current and future business models for carbon?
What are the next steps for buying and selling carbon in the energy transition?

"South Korean plans for hydrogen infrastructure"
Official Danish plans include 4-6 GW PtX capacity already in 2030. To support these plans, discussions of centralized large-scale H2 storage facilities and a H2 back-bone, possibly with international connection to German industry, are in advanced stages.
In this session, we will discuss the above plans for Danish large-scale H2 infrastructure. How they can can be achived? and How they affect the energy system in general?
The session will also include an outlook where our international speaker will talk about how H2 is expected to play a key role in the future energy system of South Korea.
Questions to be adressed:
What are the DK plans for large-scale H2 infrastructure 2030 and beyond?
Should H2 be used on site, feed into and stored in regional pipeline and storage infrastructure or is an international H2 infrastructure a must?
Where should the electricity to power the new H2 production facilities come from?
Are the ambitious plans for 2030 realistic / what can we expect?
Moderator:
Several interesting pathways for production of fuels from biological feedstock is currently upcoming, partly circumventing some of the classical PtX-challenges: Cost and scarcity of green electrons. The session provides perspectives on recent developments in the biofuel area, from production to upgrading.

Only 7 % of announced electrolysis capacity reached FID in 2023. We need to accelerate project development by standardizing, adopt best-in-class practices, and involve stakeholders more efficiently. The goal of this session is to inspire practitioners to use the newest project management tools, in order to make better and bankable projects. PtX projects entail extraordinary complexity and uncertainty, which force us to do things differently.
Questions to be addressed:
How does PtX project management differ from normal projects?
How do developers avoid unnecessary delays?
What can we learn from other industries?

Asker Juul Aagren, Senior Consultant, PtX – Danish Standard: "Standards creates the frame for PtX - Across the entire value chain of PtX system"
Torben Jersch, Head of System Technology, IWES - Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology: "Title will follow"
The green transition will lead to a multiplication of energy demand in the future and PtX solutions will be responsible for the major demand of green energy. To ensure a stable and robust system operation new regulatory requirements are necessary during the entire lifetime of the plants, from grid access, system operation and lifetime monitoring.
The session provides an overview of the challenges and experience with data driven modelling, system optimization and operational aspects of the PtX system in relation to the electricity system.

Current innovation efforts have a sole focus on improving efficiencies and technological attributes. While these are important endeavors, we also see a very slow market adoption of these technologies. In this session, we zoom out and look at the process for marketizing new PtX technologies. These technologies evolve in ecosystems, where network effects, hype and servitization are just some of the additional explanations for successful technology launches.

Moderator: Konstantinos Anastasakis
The ongoing green transition necessitates reconstruction of much of the process industry that currently provides services and materials for society, as the types of raw material define the technologies that are utilizing them. Moving away from our fossil past to renewable resources, biomass conversion technologies, P2X technologies, byproduct synergy networks and their coupling, together with renewable energy utilization drive the development.
This session will provide an overview of recent developments and challenges in modeling, integration, analysis (economic and environmental) and optimization of emerging sustainable chemical process technologies.
Questions to be adressed:
What are the costs and environmental footprints of deploying future emerging chemical processing technologies?
How can they be designed and optimized in a most efficient way regarding resource and energy consumption?
What are the hotspots and where should the focus be placed for improvements?
Moderator: Pourya Forooghi
Enhancing the efficiency and flexibility of electrolyzers is a necessity in light of increasing demand for green hydrogen. The session will focus on challenges and opportunities for optimizing future electrolyzers and how modeling can be used to that end.
Questions to be adressed:
How can performance, flexibility and durability of large scales electrolyzers be improved?
State of the art in modeling efforts for electrolyzers, including multiphysics and reaction modeling.
Moderator: Jim Høeg Lozinski (TBC)
The hydrogen market relies on bilateral transactions, with no formal market. A well-functioning market is essential for the adoption of hydrogen. However, it requires a standardized approach to balancing plants, and solid infrastructure for distribution. We are in the early stage of this development, and this session provides insights from different market actors who share their views on the next steps for creating a market for green hydrogen.
