The Launch Space Power-to-X (PHOENIX) focuses on the further development, demonstration, and implementation of the most promising approaches in P2X technologies. In the first core aspect of PHOENIX, technology development for high- and low-temperature electrolysis for H2O and CO2 is specifically driven forward using agile development methods. In parallel, in the second core aspect of the Launch Space, five sustainable P2X value chains in promising application fields are investigated. For this purpose, demonstrators will be set up, operated, and evaluated as mini-plant facilities. In both technology development and the construction of demonstrators, the rapid transfer of developed future technologies into industrial production chains is of central importance.

The project is supported by a strong consortium of industry and science, consisting of the Forschungszentrum Jülich, FH Aachen, Covestro, and RWTH Aachen.

In PHOENIX, the LTT, together with the ICE-2 of Forschungszentrum Jülich, is responsible for the potential analysis and multidimensional evaluation of the investigated P2X value chains. In a "bottom-up" approach, technical, economic, ecological, and social impacts of the P2X use cases are determined using a life cycle approach. At the same time, in a "top-down" approach, the large-scale use of P2X technologies in long-term transformation strategies for the Rhenish mining area is investigated. Both approaches are combined to provide an overall assessment of the P2X use cases.
