PtX Sector Coupling and LCA

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

Society is about to make massive investments in electro-fuels based on power to x. The x is hydrogen from electrolysis converted into different fuels and materials, which are processes that require large amounts of energy, producing byproducts in the shape of oxygen and heat. This project creates models for decision-support regarding environmental impact from a lifecycle perspective.
