PtX Dialogue: Building a global knowledge and exchange platform for PtX

As part of the International PtX Hub, PtX Dialogue enables emerging economies and developing countries to contribute to the international market ramp-up of sustainable electricity-based raw materials and fuels (“Power-to-X”, including hydrogen). Basic and in-depth training for political decision-makers in partner countries form the basis for developing visions for future PtX production and markets. In demand markets, PtX Dialogue also provides impulses for sustainability standards and develops recommendations for political framework conditions for the sectors aviation, shipping and chemical industry. In addition, the project in Kenya is working on integrating PtX into long-term climate strategies, developing the national market and generating added value locally via international markets. PtX Dialog publishes knowledge products, conducts training courses and workshops worldwide and promotes networks and partnerships, such as Women in Green Hydrogen.

State of implementation/results

The PtX Hub has developed a methodology for analysing Power-to-X potential at country level that focuses on the perspective of stakeholders from politics, business and civil society. The approach has already been piloted in Kenya, Jordan, Vietnam and Algeria and is to be rolled out in other countries in the future.
Graduates of the PtX.Basic training programme (ptx-hub.org/…) from over 22 countries now form an active community of practice. This is organised via the online platform atingi (www.atingi.org) and currently has around 250 members. Trainers and learners receive inspiration and material on topics such as sustainability, financing and certification and participate via online forums and live calls.
The PtX.Basic training programme has reached over 6,200 people, partly through independent teaching by trainers trained by PtX.Train-of-Trainers.
The PtX.Basic training is supplemented by optional additional modules on sustainability, certification, project financing, aviation, shipping, sustainable chemistry, safety, green ammonia and fertilisers. These add-on modules (ptx-hub.org/…) have reached around 500 people to date.
An e-learning programme for self-learning has also been developed and is publicly available on the ATINGI platform.
Organisation of a side event at the High-Level Hamburg Sustainability Conference (HSC). At the centre of the event was the challenging question of how shipping can effectively become sustainable. Speakers included IMO Secretary-General Dominguez, the Federal Government's Maritime Commissioner, Mr Janecek, Head of the European Commission's Sustainable Transport and Urban Development Unit, Mr Oliete Josa, and high-ranking representatives from Kenya and South Africa (10/24).
A webinar series entitled ‘Scaling Power-to-X: Solutions to Financial Market Barriers’ was held in collaboration with Agora Verkehrswende and the PtX Lab Lausitz, in which more than 200 people took part; available online at www.youtube.com/…;t=3s
The PtX Hub has set up a publication database (ptx-hub.org/…), which currently contains over 85 knowledge products such as studies and videos. These include PtX Hub's own products as well as publications from partner projects such as H2Uppp and H2Diplo, and partner organisations such as Agora Energiewende and Dechema.

The PtX Hub has developed two key knowledge products: (1) a demand and skills assessment study linked to a capacity development strategy for PtX and green hydrogen in Kenya, and (2) a mapping and stakeholder assessment of the Kenyan maritime and shipping sector in preparation for the shipping activities that the PtX Hub will undertake by June 2025.
The PtX Hub supports the management of the national steering committee to accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Kenya. It has supported the development of terms of reference for the various thematic priorities, which are being implemented by working groups of the steering committee.
The PtX training for the national task force National Action Plan Development on PtX in shipping and the kick-off for the development of the National Action Plan to reduce GHG emissions from ships and the Green Shipping Corridor took place in Mombasa: around 60 people were trained on the use of PtX in the maritime sector; the workshop initiated the cooperation between the PtX Hub, IMO, KMA and GMF.
