PhilEnergy Expo promotes the development of innovative renewable solutions that are shaping the crucial energy industry.

Power-to-X technologies play a pivotal role in integrating diverse sectors by converting surplus renewable energy into various forms, such as hydrogen, electricity, and fuels. This integration facilitates a seamless transition towards a sustainable and interconnected energy ecosystem. To delve into this dynamic topic, the EU Tech Chamber (EUTECH) Energy Alliance organised a webinar on March 07, 2024. The topic under discussion was, “Power-to-X: Technologies Integrating Different Sectors”. The webinar started off with a short overview of the organisation and a formal introduction of the panellists by Muhammad Umer Afzal, who is the coordinator of the Energy Alliance. The speakers for event were: ·      Namratha Nair, Renewable Energy Consultant, ·      Thomas Schied, Director Industrial Clients & Energy Market, ·      Dr. Ikechi Agbugba, PhD, PETS Advocate & Pioneer at BRECR. During the webinar, experts explored the forefront of energy innovation, discussing Power-to-X (P2X), Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and the criteria for classifying hydrogen as green energy. The session highlighted P2X's potential in converting electricity into renewable energy forms and the role of PPAs in promoting direct investments in renewable projects. The panellists examined the economic and feasibility aspects of P2X, the regulatory impacts on green hydrogen production, and its contributions to decarbonization and environmental preservation. Moreover, Dr. Ikechi Agbugba specifically focused on green hydrogen's role in reducing carbon emissions, underlining the importance of supportive regulations and technology in achieving a sustainable energy transition. A sincere thanks to each speaker for their informed insights on this much-needed topic. To all our attendees – your comments, compliments, and questions made this session interactive and great. The unwavering support of our Board Members, including Arseny Tarasov and Marius Rabbe, plays a pivotal role in the success of our initiatives. Your dedication and commitment are truly valued. A special thanks, too, to Umer for moderating the webinar and distributing Tree-Certificates to the panellists. We would also like to invite you to our Networking Meeting on 21st March.

Leading by example … inspired by Air Products. At Sapio Group we are doing the same for our customers through #hydrogen, #biomethane and other industrial gases applications

Developing superconducting cables that will enable more efficient and less costly power transmission from renewable electricity generation sites   Christian Eric Bruzek, Business Development Manager Power Market of ASG Superconductors, said “This project is a very important step in supporting Europe’s energy transition to decarbonize our energy by an electrification reinforcement to achieve the “Green Deal” target. For the first time with SCARLET project, the perfect association between the electrical bulk power transmission thanks to the compact superconducting MgB2 cables of ASG and the distribution of liquid hydrogen will be validated in one single infrastructure. We are convinced that this unrivalled synergy will have a primary role in the distribution until the end users of the two main decarbonized energy vectors: Electricity and Hydrogen. This innovative technology for future grids will benefit from the association of electricity transportation at zero losses with superconductors and of a safe hydrogen distribution”

A few wise folks have said for years that the jump towards #hydrogen energy was inevitable. * Inevitable because Hydrogen is the most common element in the Universe. * Inevitable because it avoids mining & damaging the Earth for rare metals. * Inevitable because distributed PV naturally pairs well with Hydrogen. * Inevitable because all batteries deteriorate, and many become pollution. Studies estimate ~95% aren’t recycled. * Inevitable because lithium 🔥 s are more difficult to put out for first responders. Which is why it’s gratifying to see the hydrogen revolution come to fruition. Something those of us who truly care about the #planet and our communities can celebrate. And future generations can appreciate, even if unknowingly. #sustainable #sunrun #tesla #greenenergy #environmentalism #energytransition
