Technical Tour 9 September: Power-to-X  –  Navigating the Practical Challenges in Hydrogen and Methanol Production

Facing climate change and the urgent demand for sustainable energy solutions, we stand on the brink of a green energy revolution. Power-to-X offers a path forward, yet with this new horizon come practical challenges that we cannot overlook. Among the most prominent are the production of hydrogen and methanol – key components in this transition.  How do we navigate these challenges to unlock the potential of Power-to-X? Port of Aalborg and Aalborg University have set up a CCUS-Hub demonstration testsite for the whole PtX value chain. The demonstration site includes various necessary technical units from grid or RE production of high-voltage power supply, storage solutions, electrolyser production of H2, CO2 connections and supply, methanol production and more. The tour includes a presentation at the Port of Aalborg and a visit to the CCUS Hub.

Technical Tour 12 September: Aalborg Portland Cement factory goes for Carbon Capture solutions

Aalborg Portland is committed to reducing CO2 emissions per ton of cement by 30% by 2030. At the factory, more visions and missions have resulted in an ambitious action plan with an innovative approach, and the target is to reach up to 73% in CO2 reduction in total in 2030.  One innovative approach to the reduction target is to set up a large demonstration and pilot carbon capture plant facility to the production emmisions. The tour includes a presentation on how the factory will capture 400.000 t of CO2/year and a visit to the latest Carbon Capture installed unit at the factory.
