based inGermany, Berlin

My work is to make the PtX Hub a source of knowledge and motivation for all who want to dive into the idea of full defossilisation.I am convinced that mankind can strive and prosper without harming the planet.

Torsten Schwab is the coordinator of the “PtX Hub”. The last years, he managed the IKI-project “Climate Neutral Alternative Fuels” in Brazil – BMU’s first PtX project within the PtX Action Program. He has been with GIZ since 2004, promoting the use of renewable energies, first in rural electrification, then in energy planning for specific technologies (solar, wind, bioX), and lately renewables as a source for clean aviation fuels. He holds MSc degrees in both Engineering Cybernetics and WASTE („Water, Air, and Solid Waste Treatment Engineering“), both from the University of Stuttgart.

Mission


Change is driven by people. I want to reach the ones who are motivated and courageous to let the established paths behind and showcase how a truly sustainable world may work.
