Project description

An increased installation base of PtX plants for e-methanol based on green hydrogen relies strongly on the ability of technology providers to scale-up their manufacturing, sub-component integration and supply chain capacity. Especially in parallel to ongoing technology development of key technologies.

When it comes to large-scale electrolysers for multi-MW applications for e-methanol and beyond, the major manufacturing and performance bottlenecks consist of the ability to assemble electrolyser stacks at high precision and speed.

For both electrolysers and e-methanol plants, the ability to plan for an optimal supply chain is key for delivering installation base in time and optimal quality.

In GREMEOH, new supply chain, integration and manufacturing concepts targeting speed and quality shall pave the way for an increased capacity of installed plants using green hydrogen for e-methanol. Designed, developed and made in Denmark.

The video was created by Dansk Center for Enery Storage for their annual meeting in 2023.

The green fuel value chain and cross-cutting themes

Resource procurement (Input)
Identification, sourcing, and supply of biomass, CO₂, green electricity, or waste materials (feedstock) used as input for fuel production.
Fuel production
Processes that transform the basic energy resources into primary energy carriers (e.g. hydrogen).
Refining and upgrading
Processes that purify, enhance or synthesize fuels/hydrogen to meet specific quality and performance standards.
Storage
Technologies and systems for containing larger quantities of fuels (methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, SAF) over time.
Transport
Logistics and infrastructure for moving fuels from production to consumption sites, covering pipelines, trucks, ships, etc.
Distribution
End-point delivery for supplying fuels to users (e.g. fuelling stations, industrial supply lines, on-site storage).
Utilisation
Application of the fuels in end-use sectors such as heavy transport, aviation, shipping, and power generation in industry. The end-user is responsible for sourcing of energy/fuels, as well as new technologies and assets capable of utilising these, often with the purpose of reducing GHG emissions and environmental impact. Furthermore, end-users are also responsible for meeting new regulatory requirements and handling all technical and commercial risks related to the application of new and more expensive energy, following the energy transition. Utilisation includes extensive field testing of new technologies and fuels to overcome technical challenges and test production and supply chain infrastructure.
Post-treatment and recycling
Handling of byproducts, residues or emissions, and processes for material recovery or environmental management.
Safety and standardisation
Development and application of safety protocols, technical standards and certifications to ensure secure handling and interoperability.
Systems integration / sector coupling
Linking fuel production and use with other energy systems and sectors (e.g. power-to-x, grid balancing, industrial symbiosis) to optimise efficiency and resilience. Primarily an analytical focus.
Community work and stakeholder involvement
Engagement of local actors, citizens and industry stakeholders to support implementation, acceptability and social sustainability.
Structural frameworks, regulation, and markets
Analysis, development and test of policy, regulatory structures, incentive mechanisms, and market models to enable deployment and scaling.
