Sustainability Briefing #1: Carbon sources in the context of Power-to-X

Carbon, commonly in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), is an important feedstock for Power-to-X (PtX) products such as chemicals, polymers, pharmaceuticals and synthetic fuels. Our first sustainability briefing sheds light on various carbon sourcing methods (Direct Air Capture, biogenic sources, and Carbon Capture and Utilisation), illustrates associated developments and chances, and dives into the topic of closed carbon cycles.

The briefing is aimed at policy makers, regulators and other stakeholders seeking an introduction to carbon sources in the context of PtX.

More on key aspects of PtX sustainability

When designing green hydrogen and PtX value chains and policy frameworks, key elements of sustainability must be taken into account to ensure long-term positive impacts for all stakeholders involved. Our sustainability briefings shed light on environmental, social and economic development opportunities that must be considered for a successful market ramp-up. The briefings were developed in cooperation with experts from the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy.
