<link internal-link internal link in current>Prof. Leitner is Chairman of the Coordination Group “P2X: Erforschung, Validierung und Implementierung von „Power-to-X“ Konzepten”.
The Power-to-X consortium units 46 partners like research institutes, industrial companies and social institutions in order to bring together all needed areas of expertise. The objective of Power-to-X is to use, the developed within the project, technologies to convert electricity from renewable sources into physical resources like hydrogen, carbon monoxide and synthesis gas. In a later phase, this project will seek to develop innovation solutions to efficiently store, distribute, and convert into the end-product of the received physical resources. A strong focus in this project is the decarbonisation of the energy system, which is one the strivings of the Federal Government through the Energiewende.
