Strata Clean Energy announces Power-to-X ( P2X ) Platform
Strata Clean Energy , a pioneer in grid-scale renewable energy solutions , is rapidly building a Power-to-X ( P2X ) development and technology platform to decarbonize segments of the modern economy where direct electrification is not viable .
The P2X platform leverages the firm ’ s stateof-the-art , hourly-matched , renewable energy supply solutions to produce lowcarbon hyDrogen derivatives ( ammonia , e-methane , and SAF ) critical to the hardestto-abate industrial , agricultural , and ocean freight and aviation markets .
“ Strata will transform non-dispatchable clean energy into carbon-free alternatives for the modern industrial economy . Our structured power products and merchant BESS development track record underpin our differentiated approach to serving large loads which require hourly matched renewable energy supply ,” said Mike Grunow , EVP and General Manager , P2X , Strata Clean Energy .
“ For the past 12 months , we have been actively siting projects in ideal locations for logistics , water rights , permitting , energy cost and grid interconnection . Our team is quickly advancing site engineering with Tier 1 partners , and we are accelerating talks with long-term buyers of the low-carbon intensity commodities – we are going to make this a reality .”
Strata ’ s initial projects will produce ammonia derived from renewable energy , while future projects will focus on alternative e-fuels that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions where no other alternative exists .
As a 1:1 replacement for natural-gas-derived ammonia , low-carbon-intensity ammonia can be the workhorse of the zero-carbon economy as it lowers the shipment cost of green hyDrogen by a factor of 30 .
“ For the past 15 years , Strata has been instrumental in bringing over 270 utility-scale solar and storage projects online ,” said Markus Wilhelm , Strata CEO .
“ In the coming decade , regional grids will be loaded with unscheduled wind and solar . Converting a fraction of this generation into zero-carbon , alternative fuels is the next step in the global energy transition to a netzero future .”
In the fourth quarter of 2022 , Strata P2X began recruiting a dedicated team of experts from the petrochemical and utility sectors to play critical roles in advancing the company ’ s ambitious goals .
Among the new hires is KJ Plank , Chief Innovation Officer , who is building out the technology , engineering , energy and procurement teams within P2X at Strata . p
