Power-to-X, systemic aspects

Title (German)

Power-to-X; Systemische Aspekte

Brief description

This guideline clarifies and standardizes the relationships between the various processes of PtX systems (methanation, hydrogen production, CO2 supply, etc.) so that the processes fit together. The respective system boundaries and system parameters from the individual modules as well as the transfer parameters at the interfaces are important here. Furthermore, methods for multi-criteria evaluation are recommended and categorized so that PtX systems and PtX processes can be evaluated and compared with each other. The criteria include technical as well as economic, ecological and social aspects (e.g. evaluation of site-specific concepts, acceptance, infrastructure, CO2 benefit, economic efficiency).
