Power-to-X for the transport and chemical transition
Germany wants to become climate-neutral by 2045 – to achieve this, it is crucial that all sectors of the economy are transformed. This is where Power-to-X (PtX) comes in: PtX technology uses electricity (‘power’) from renewable energies to produce green hydrogen and, from this, sustainable fuels and raw materials (‘X’). These are crucial for sectors such as the chemical industry or aviation and shipping. The PtX Lab Lausitz is developing the foundations for the market ramp-up of sustainable PtX products and advises industry, politics and science.

PtX Lab Lausitz — Where Change Becomes the Future
In Germany, we are aiming to become greenhouse gas neutral by 2045. This is an ambitious goal for climate protection and the environment. This requires far-reaching change in all areas, particularly in industry and the transport sector.
The PtX Lab Lausitz is located in Cottbus and a central player on the path to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A central approach is the development of synthetic fuels for air and sea transport, based on renewable energies and green hydrogen.
