2023 Final Individual Assignment
P2X ASSIGNMENT
DUE: 13 November 23:50
Individual assignment:
Power-to-X (P2X) is the use of electricity for the conversion, energy storage, and reconversion
of surplus electric power, typically during periods when fluctuating renewable energy
generation exceeds the load. The term X encompasses a range of methods, such as power-to-
chemicals (e.g. ammonia), power to fuel (e.g. synthetic fuel, H2 and CH4), power-to-food,
power-to-heat, power-to-mecanical storage, and power-to-electric storage. These applications
cover examples such as electric vehicle charging, space climate control, and water heating.
Your assignment is to propose a P2X concept that addresses a challenge or opportunity you
have identified for your process. You have the freedom to focus on any aspect of the P2X
initiative, from targeted chemistry (hydrogen, ammonia, methane, etc.), the location, grid
stability (for power distribution), regulations, techno-economics, target sector (agriculture,
transport, and various industries).
Provide a description for your proposal that includes the problem, challenges, your solutions
and the outcomes of the implementation your P2X systems. The report should introduce the
challenges/opportunities that are addressed, the location, and the benefits/challenges of the
sites, the reasons as to why P2X is a viable option for the chosen tasks, and the main discussion
addressing some of the criteria listed above. The use of visual aids in your report is
recommended. Support your 'argument' with referenced sources.

Please submit your report in PDF format by 23:50 on November 13th, using your full name as

Marking criteria:
A written report (2000 – 2500 words) is required for the individual final assignment. The report
will cover 30% of your final mark, and it will be assessed based on the following factors:
1. Case study description (10%): Introduce the case study, its limitations, and the aim
of the report.
2. Solutions (40%): Explain clearly your proposed ways to improve or apply the selected
P2X strategy (this section needs to be supported by data/literature).
3. Conclusions (10%): Briefly summarise the outcomes of your study.
4. Innovation (20%): Be creative! Use the information learned in class and tutorial
5. Report layout (20%). The report should follow a logical structure. It should have a
proper format, and references should be correctly cited (including in text, graphs, tables,
etc.). We encourage you to create your own flowcharts or figures in this report to
support your ideas.
