Power-to-X

Storing surplus electricity production in chemical form

Power-to-X (also P2X and P2Y) are electricity conversion, energy storage, and reconversion pathways from surplus renewable energy. By linking the power sector to other energy sectors, power-to-X conversion technologies offer the possibilities to exploit synergies across the whole energy as intended with the concept of sector coupling and fully integrated smart energy systems. The X in the terminology can refer to one of the following: power-to-ammonia, power-to-chemicals, power-to-gas (power-to-hydrogen, power-to-methane), power to food, and power-to-heat.
