Cover Story: Hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) products are recognized as major levers to allow the ramping up of renewable energy capacities and the consequent use of green electrons in different sectors. Importantly, the boundary conditions to implement PtX processes at remote areas with abundant renewable resources differ significantly from conventional processes due to the dynamics of renewable energy-driven hydrogen production. Process intensification (PI) approaches in that context offer, on one hand, maximum utilization of the valuable renewable feedstock and, on the other, simpler production processes. In this work, the challenges for the PtX processes are addressed and different PI strategies and their potential to overcome those challenges are discussed for three exemplary, major PtX products. View this paper
