Safety and Ethical Assessment of PtX in Danish Ports through Participatory Processes

The project focuses on supporting the Danish strategy on decarbonization by means
of accelerating the implementation and scaling of green Power-to-X (PtX)
technologies in Denmark. A pivotal part in such acceleration is to build well-
functioning and safe infrastructures of storage, handling, and bunkering in Danish
ports, as these play a key part as future green energy hubs. The project apply techno
-anthropological theories and methodologies to explore and unpack possible safety
concerns and ethical controversies within social acceptance among stakeholders
across the PtX value chain in two Danish ports: Rønne and Aarhus. Based on this, the
project develops a handbook with guidelines and tools on how to establish social
agreements on safety in PtX projects. Thus, the project taps into topics in the themed
area of green research and technology development, i.e. developing new energy
systems while also understanding societal consequences of these, and drafting tools
supporting this shift.
