Based in Cottbus (Lusatia, Germany), ‘PtX Lab Lausitz – T&D Tank for Fuels and Basic Materials from Green Hydrogen’ intends to establish a technical basis for the environmentally friendly production and use of PtX products, as well as establishing partnerships. The coupling of sectors, i.e. linking the electricity sector with other areas such as industry and transport, will play an essential role in this endeavour.
The aim of the PtX Lab Lausitz is to assist industry and society on the road towards climate neutrality and support industry, decision makers and science by providing a platform for sharing knowledge, giving impetus and serving as a contact. One task is to work on the economic and legal framework conditions for a successful and rapid market scale-up for PtX Products.
The entire value chain of the relevant technologies and sectors as well as their incorporation into the circular economy need to be taken into account. Societal and social impacts of the required and swift market scale-up for PtX products also play a role.
Flagship projects such as the PtX Lab Lausitz and the planned demonstration plant will provide key actors from science and industry with an opportunity to test new service systems, learn from them and develop and gradually introduce new business models. This needs to be organised in close cooperation with research institutions, industrial enterprises and national and international actors.
