Briefing Series: Introducing key aspects of Power-to-X sustainability
From carbon sources, water desalination and land use to community benefits, skills and job creation as well as stakeholder participation: Addressing fundamental sustainability aspects in Power-to-X value chains and policy frameworks is essential to guarantee lasting positive effects for stakeholders.
Our sustainability briefings provide insights into opportunities for environmental, economic, social, and governance (EESG) development that are vital for a successful market ramp-up. Tailored for policymakers, regulators, and a diverse range of stakeholders, these briefings were developed in cooperation with the experts from the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy.
Our first sustainability briefing delves into diverse carbon sourcing methods, including Direct Air Capture, biogenic sources, and Carbon Capture and Utilisation. It outlines associated developments, opportunities, and explores closed carbon cycles.
The second sustainability briefing delves into the technology of water desalination within the Power-to-X (PtX) framework. Moreover, it examines concerns related to the environment and acceptance, offering insights into leveraging desalination for PtX value chains.
Addressing land use related to renewable energy production and further PtX production processes, our third sustainability briefing sheds light on steps for land selection and key considerations throughout the process.
Our fourth sustainability briefing focuses on the potential positive impacts on local communities. It examines how these benefits can align with the interests of investors and project developers, presenting levers and perspectives for effective benefit sharing.
Reviewing job profiles, required skills and employment opportunities along the PtX value chain, the fifth sustainability briefing evaluates the role of education systems and introduces exemplary measures for fostering skills and job development.
The sixth sustainability briefing showcases the advantages of stakeholder participation through real-life examples. In addition, it provides a blueprint for a stakeholder engagement process, offering recommendations for planning and executing two-way communication.
