The background for this project was two different projects with a duration of 4 years each – The PtX Sector Coupling and the PtX and LCA project. They have now been combined to the existing PtX Sector Coupling and LCA project.
Objectives
The purpose of the project is twofold:
To further develop existing energy systems and LCA tools, methodologies and models to better determine optimal PtX-integration into the green transition
To use these models for assessments relevant to defining the optimal locations of new plants based on grid capabilities, market forecasts, biomass and carbon availability and including sector coupling and co-optimisation of gas, electricity, hydrogen and district heating
Expected results/impact
The outcome of the project is twofold:
Further develop existing energy systems and LCA tools, methodologies and models to better determine optimal PtX-integration into the green transition including to illustrate the use of data from Energinet’s hub for analyses of the optimal placement of PtX-plants, depending on the local resources and infrastructure
Studies and assessments relevant to defining the optimal locations of new plants based on grid capabilities, market forecasts, biomass and carbon availability and including sector coupling and co-optimisation of gas, electricity, hydrogen and district heating as well as LCA assessments
