Whitepaper on influence on PtX certification on the ramp-up of a hydrogen export market
How can countries in southern Africa become key players in the global trade in green hydrogen? And what role do sustainability and certification requirements in importing countries play in this process? A new whitepaper published by the Fraunhofer Institutes IEE, ISI, IEG and IMWS provides a first systematic analysis of how differing power‑to‑x (PtX) certification requirements influence the ramp‑up of hydrogen and synthetic fuel export markets from the SADC region – and why strategic decisions already in early project phases are crucial.
Power-to-MEDME-R&D research project demonstrates: Green methanol and DME competitive in the medium term
After two years of research and development work, the German-Chilean Power-to-MEDME-R&D project has been successfully completed. The Fraunhofer IEE and its project partners have developed key technological, economic, and systemic foundations for the sustainable production of green hydrogen and its derivatives methanol and dimethyl ether in Chile.
Kenya PtX Atlas shows potential for green ammonia from renewable energies
Green hydrogen and its derivatives such as ammonia are considered key to a sustainable energy future and the decarbonization of industry. A new interactive map that identifies suitable locations for ammonia production in Kenya is now making an important contribution to this. The Kenya PtX Atlas was developed by the Fraunhofer IEE based on a report produced in collaboration with the H2Global Foundation and Strathmore University in Kenya.
Our research in the field of hydrogen is closely linked to the topics of energy management and energy system technology. We focus in particular on green hydrogen as a key technology for the energy transition. We support you throughout the entire process chain – from feasibility studies to the operational optimization of your plants.
