Project description

DBI has in collaboration with Force Technology committed to Safe PtX Innomission 2, “Safer and Faster PtX”. This is an infrastructure project, that should benefit development of equipment producers and plant owners by reducing uncertainties related to safety and approval processes, and hereby supporting and enabling investment decisions and faster time to market for PtX production plants.

The purpose of the project is to support the development of the recommended safety requirements for PtX implementation in Denmark. Safety requirements and standards are fundamental necessities for a fast pathway towards PtX-implementation.

Risk identification, and mitigation by the development of transparent fast implementable PtX Safety Guideline, is an important tool in paving the way for the required scaling and integration of technologies in relation to both the safety and the public acceptance. This project applies to both PtX plants, suppliers, and communities.

Impact & outcome

  • The Power-to-X Safety Network has been established by FORCE Technology and DBI to accelerate the activities needed to make Power-to-X and Green Fuel safe and reliable. Sharing of knowledge, problems and solutions will play an important role in the green energy transition. Read about the Power-to-X Safety Network here.

  • The Safe and Faster PtX guideline aims to improve safety and enable faster implementation of PtX production plants, by providing a comprehensive overview of recommended practices, relevant regulations, information on green fuel characteristics, societal perspectives, and more. Go to the Safe and Faster PtX guideline platform here.

  • A broad dissemination of the guideline and lessons learned from PtX forum has been shared.

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.
