The energy transition is underway to transform the global economy to net-zero emissions. Some so-called hard-to-abate sectors cannot yet switch to direct electrification of their processes. In these sectors, such as aviation, shipping and chemicals, green hydrogen and Power-to-X products such as ammonia, methanol, e-fuels, e-fertilisers and green steel are viable options for defossilisation. However, the production, trade and use of these products is lagging behind the ambition of governments and the private sector to reduce emissions.
On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and as part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI), the International PtX Hub promotes sustainable Power-to-X to achieve climate goals and the full defossilisation of economies. This includes policy advice on regulatory frameworks for Power-to-X, research on PtX potentials, the development of sustainability frameworks, agenda setting on conferences and in working groups, and much more. As a communications intern in the team, you will support the communication of the PtX Hubโs activities and impact, as well as the dissemination of knowledge on green hydrogen and Power-to-X itself, with a focus on its progress in Argentina, Kenya, Morocco and South Africa.
