He is co-coordinator of the research and policy work on Power-to-X in chemistry and sustainability, with a focus on a sustainable and rapid market ramp-up of hydrogen derivatives (methanol, naphtha, olefins, aromatics) and sustainable carbon management with renewable carbon. Additionally, he is involved in the policy analysis of the European and German policy landscape for PtX and hydrogen derivatives.

Lukas Horndasch graduated 2020 as M.Sc. Chemistry at the LMU Munich. During his master's and bachelor's studies he conducted research on the photocatalytic generation of hydrogen, sustainable OLEDs and photoswitches.
 
Over a period of seven years, he campaigned and advocated for climate justice together with Urgewald, Fossil Free München and Climate Action Network Tanzania with a special focus on divestment from fossil fuels and a just-phase- out of fossil fuels.
