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

As part of the International PtX Hub, PtX Dialogue enabled 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 formed the basis for developing visions for future PtX production and markets. In demand markets, PtX Dialogue also provided impulses for sustainability standards and developed recommendations for political framework conditions for the sectors aviation, shipping and chemical industry. In addition, the project in Kenya has been 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, conducted training courses and workshops worldwide and promoted networks and partnerships, such as Women in Green Hydrogen.

State of implementation/results

Project completed.
Global:
- 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. It has been piloted in Kenya, Jordan, Vietnam and Algeria and has now also been applied in Tajikistan.
- PtX Hub supported the development of the national hydrogen strategy in Ethiopia together with the Ethiopian-German Energy Co-operation. In 3 trainings on PtX basics, eSAF and e-fertilisers end 2024-beginning 2025, Ethiopian stakeholders developed a vision and next steps for the country with PtX.
- PtX.BasicTraining (ptx-hub.org/…) graduates from over 23 countries form an active community of practice. This is organised via the online platform ATINGI (www.atingi.org) and currently has around 380 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 e-learning programme for self-determined learning and networking is still publicly available on the ATINGI platform: PtX.E-learning - PtX Hub, PtX.Community - PtX Hub (2747 enrolled participants, 511 graduates* with certificate).
- PtX Hub piloted its first PtX.Training-of-Trainers on Shipping at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in London, conducted as part of the strategic partnership between IMO and PtX Hub together with the IMO GreenVoyage2050 programme. 19 participants from ten partner countries have been trained as PtX.shipping trainers. (7/2025)
- The PtX Hub has expanded its publication database (ptx-hub.org/…), which currently comprises 95 knowledge products such as studies and videos.
Kenya:
- PtX Hub has developed 3 knowledge products: (1) study on assessment of demand & skills linked to capacity development strategy for PtX and green hydrogen in Kenya, (2) mapping and assessment of stakeholders in the Kenyan shipping sector in preparation for shipping activities, and (3) baseline analysis on opportunities for defossilisation of the Kenyan flower sector, in particular with a view to export opportunities by ship.
- PtX Hub supported leadership of the national steering committee to accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Kenya. The development of terms of reference for the various thematic priorities was supported, which are being implemented by a total of 6 working groups of the steering committee. PtX Hub is co-lead of the two working groups on financing and sustainable SAF.
- As part of the Green Hydrogen Symposium, PtX Hub hold a stakeholder workshop with the Kenyan Maritime Authority (KMA) of the IMO GreenVoyage2050 programme and the Danish NGO Global Maritime Forums to present the preliminary results of the National Action Plan for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ships and Green Shipping Corridors. The workshop explored the dynamics on the supply side & the opportunities on the demand side & identified quick wins that could promote adoption. (5/2025)
- PtX Hub co-organised multi-stakeholder dialogues as part of the Green Hydrogen Regional Symposium on the topics of "PtX infrastructure requirements in the East Africa region", "skills development" (university and vocational training) and "sustainable fuels for aviation and shipping". (5/2025)
