Project description
The goal of the PtX Infrastructure project is to evaluate Danish investment options for hydrogen (H2) and CO2 infrastructure to support green fuel production in the context of an integrated, sector-coupled European energy system. The project will address current plans and potential build-outs, assessing both the value of H2 and CO2 grids and storages in an uncertain European energy transition.

Impact & outcome
To bridge the challenge gap, this project will apply and further develop different state-of-the-art energy system models (ESMs) (Balmorel, PyPSA-Eur-Sec, and TIMES) to encompass a holistic energy system perspective and include, among others, PtX technologies and the needed energy infrastructures.
