Synthesis plants and Power-to-X (PtX)

Hydrogen offers almost countless possibilities in its application. hähn hydrogen builds and plans individual chemical production plants for the manufacture of basic chemicals, kerosenes or synthetic fuels.

The production plants from hähn hydrogen are available for the following processes according to the modular plant concept:

• Fischer-Tropsch process (carbonaceous products - gases, petrol, kerosene, soft kerosene, hard kerosenes)
• Haber-Bosch process (ammonia synthesis)
• Methanol synthesis 

You receive engineering, construction and operational support from a single source. The energy transition will increasingly lead to smaller, more decentralized chemical production plants using Power-to-X technology. The resulting sector coupling (energy, industry, mobility) opens up completely new markets and opportunities. 

In PtX technology, the (surplus) electricity (power) from renewable energies is used to produce and process hydrogen in hydrogen generators / electrolysers instead of storing it as a chemical energy carrier, reconverting it into electricity in fuel cells or using it directly as a material. The various processes involved in this further processing enable the production of low-CO2 synthetic fuels and basic materials for the chemical industry. X stands for the respective form of energy produced or the intended use (e.g. power-to-liquid for liquid fuels, power-to-chemicals for chemical base materials).
