Climate Thursday: Power-to-X and other technology advances

Henrik Stiesdal, a pioneer in the wind industry, known for his extensive work with Vestas, Bonus Energy, and Siemens, will deliver a lecture on new promising technologies. He has been at the forefront of offshore wind and is currently involved in developments related to floating offshore wind, energy storage, hydrogen, and carbon-negative fuels. Marie Münster, a Professor in Energy System Analysis at the Technical University of Denmark, specializing in integrated energy systems and smart sector coupling, will lecture on PtX (Power-to-X) as part of integrated energy systems. Martin Nielsen, the Plant Manager at Arcadia eFuels, responsible for PtX, will discuss sustainable aviation fuel in his lecture.

Henrik Stiesdal

Henrik Stiesdal is the founder and CTO of Stiesdal.

Henrik Stiesdal is one of the pioneers of the modern wind industry, building his first wind turbine in 1976. From 1979 onwards he worked with Vestas, Bonus Energy, and Siemens, retiring in 2014. He was responsible for the turbine design and supply for the world’s first offshore wind farm in 1991 and for the world’s first floating offshore wind turbine in 2009, and has been awarded more than 1000 patents. Stiesdal is currently developing technologies within floating offshore wind, energy storage, hydrogen, and carbon-negative fuels. Henrik Stiesdal is associate professor at DTU Wind Energy and adjunct research professor at the University of Maine.

Henrik will give a lecture on new promising technologies.

08.30 - 09.00

Marie Muenster

Marie Münster is Professor in Energy System Analysis at the Technical University of Denmark. She holds a M.Sc. in Energy Planning and a PhD in Energy Modeling. Marie Münster has extensive experience withn the field of energy system modeling with focus on integrated energy systems and smart sector coupling analyzing technologies producing power, heat, gases and transport fuels (including PtX).

She is a member of the Danish Climate Council, the Climate Advisory Board of Ecole Polytechnique, the Advisory Board of the ElForsk and the referee panel of the Maritime DTU Orients research foundations. 

She has been project leader and WP lead on several Danish and international research projects. She mainly contributes with teaching on the DTU Master in Sustainable Energy.

Marie will give a lecture on PtX as part of integrated energy systems.

09.00 - 09.30

Martin Nielsen

Martin Nielsen is Plant Manager, site Vordingborg at Arcadia eFuels. He is responsible for building up the organization for the PtX (mainly eKero).

 

Martin will give a lecture on sustainable aviation fuel.
