The road to green alternatives to fossil fuels includes indirect electrification via Power-to-X where electricity is transformed into hydrogen and other green fuels like methanol. This has just been stated by the Danish government in a broad agreement on contribution to the expansion of production and use of Power-to-X in Denmark. This announcement came shortly after the EU Commission, in the wake of the situation in Ukraine, stated that EU needs to switch quickly to renewables and hydrogen with more efficiency to become energy independent.

The Power-to-X fuels, including methanol, can be used in the shipping industry and elsewhere in heavy transport, where direct electrification is not sufficient. The transition of these sectors is necessary to achieve the global goals of CO2 reduction. Both in Denmark, but also around the world, new Power-to-X productions are being launched, and with major industrial players such as Maersk at the forefront, the focus is increasing on both production and use of green fuels.

Blue World’s fuel cell technology not only enables the use of methanol as a green alternative in these sectors but does so in an efficient and clean way. Measured against fossil fuels, there is an additional cost for green fuels, a so-called green premium. For the use of green fuels to become competitive, it requires that production is increased, and production costs are reduced, but also that you get the most out of the fuels. With high electrical efficiency, Blue World Technologies’ fuel cells will in the short term contribute to reducing the additional cost associated with the use of green fuels and in the long term eliminate it completely. In addition, the fuel cells ensure clean operation without NOx, SOx and particles – for the benefit of both our climate and the environment.
