Power-to-X: An effective and flexible way of controlling your CO2 footprint
Converting renewable electricity into synthetic gas or hydrogen makes CO2-neutral energy available whenever and wherever it is required.
Electricity can be much more than simply a final energy product. It can be a source of sustainable and resource-conserving power for the industrial, mobility, and heating sectors when combined as part of a Power-to-X strategy. Electricity is converted into gases like hydrogen or methane (Power-to-Gas) or liquids like methanol (Power-to-Liquid). The gas is obtained from green renewable electricity and converted in a Power-to-X plant. It can immediately be fed into a gas pipeline, providing customers with CO2-neutral energy. Synthetic fuels or hydrogen can power the mobility sector (including ships and airplanes) and a variety of other applications and industries. Power-to-X technology is an ideal solution for the carbon-neutral industrial, heating, and mobility sectors. Converted energy can also be easily stored for transportation without a pipeline or for later use.
Power-to-X technology from Everllence (former MAN Energy Solutions) is a sustainable solution for synthetic fuel production and long-term energy storage. Our technology extends to all sizes, from independent power producers to utilities. In 2013, we launched this technology with a 50 MW comprehensive plant solution. Everllence can also offer Power-to-X plants of various sizes which can be tailor-made to your requirements.

In the Power-to-Gas process, CO2-neutral renewable energy is used to power an electrolysis plant, breaking water down into hydrogen and oxygen. The resulting hydrogen can be added to the natural gas grid or used as fuel for other applications. Alternatively, carbon dioxide can be added to the hydrogen in a methanation reactor, resulting in synthetic methane, also known as SNG or e-methane. You can store e-methane and use it directly as fuel for mobility or heating purposes.

Everllence builds Power-to-X plant for Audi
In 2013, Audi built and then commercially operated a Power-to-Gas plant in Werlte, Germany. Thanks to our comprehensive process know-how, Everllence provided a complete PtX system including a methanation reactor as a single-source solution. The plant was subsequently taken over by kiwi AG.
The Power-to-X plant in Werlte provides superior SNG which can be used for multiple purposes. One example is powering the ElbBLUE container vessel – the first ship in the world to run on synthetic fuel.
